Art by Margaret Rees | Mornington Peninsula Artist

Happy times growing up, visiting farmyard friends! It was a thrill to be awarded winner for the "Best Oil Painting" at the 2011 Red Hill Agricultural & Horticultural Show, Red Hill, Victoria.

This painting was inspired by a visit to the animal shed at the Melbourne Royal Show where children were able to pick up and hold the chickens. As a child I spent holidays on a sheep farm and loved the experiences with all the animals.
