On a Stroll

"On a stroll" 22" x 15" Fabriano Paper

Taking a leisurely stroll through the grass...

This rooster was done almost two years ago

and I love the contrast between the rusty oranges

and the inky blues. They are quite powerful birds,

just look at his puffed out chest...he's got something

to prove! I start with their combs and work my way

to their feathers..halfway through I'll put the eyes in..

that's when their personalities come into play. Those

sideways glances...not quite sure if they can trust you.
