A lazy Sunday, late afternoon, John's communing with Ra who likes to read as well by sitting on your shoulder, your arm or the book in your lap. He acquires all information via osmoses, a most remarkable cat! 

This is for you Sue....the first sketch of your chooks & Guinea fowl.
Like the chooks the best, more movement...the Guineas are a bit static. Had lots of fun though.

Here's another version of the 1st one I did. Slightly different perspective that's all. I'm still thinking about other variations, I like to let ideas percolate a bit.

Here are a couple more ideas on the theme. I'm trying to give the feeling of movement...the push & shove of arriving & going, while those inside are waiting, static. The bottom one is the anticipation just before the action. I want to do some inside concepts but I think I need a trip or two to get a new angle.
