I made a trip to the Suffolk County Farm the other day. It is a good time of year to go because many baby animals are born around now.
First I sketched the cows who usually stay put while they are eating, but once they are finished have no loyalty to the artist sketching them. lol
Next I went over to sketch the sheep who were all clustered together by the shed. There was one baby included in the group.
The peacock had his feathers spread when I sat down, but that didn't last for long. Most of the feathers I had to do by memory.
Inside there were some baby goats that were just one day old. Mama goat was ignoring them for the most part, until I almost finished the sketch. Then she decided it was feeding time.
