"Struttin' his stuff" 15"x17"
On this Groundhog Day we've all heard the news...it's going to be another 6 weeks of winter...boo hoo! So I thought I'd post a critter of my own. This guy casts a shadow, but there isn't anyone around to wonder about the future of the weather! My splatters and splashes work well with roosters to indicate dappled feathers. White feathers actually need a little color to make them "read" as white. I think if they were left completely as unpainted paper it wouldn't look right. Therefore a bit of cerulean and some yellow ochre.
I like both of your last pieces! You handle watercolors beautifully. They seem to handle me, generally, despite my affinity for them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous fellow. The background is great and those feathers - wow!
ReplyDeleteI love it!! Roosters are one of my favourite things, and you have done a tremendous job on this one!
ReplyDeleteHe is absolutely wonderful. I love your loose technique.
ReplyDeleteI always love your roosters but this one is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWOW,,,,speaking of loving your Roosters....this is a beauty! Love those varigated feathers. Like the flowers in the background too.
ReplyDeleteOh, this one's a gem, Annelein! Great job on the rooster, but then, I always love yours.
ReplyDeleteooh... Flowers AND Roosters together! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful painting! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHe is one handsome guy! --I love the way you have painted him! --wonderful colors and great handling!
ReplyDeleteTell you what...I would rather depend on your 'groundhog' than the traditional one, especially with this years forecast. Love your roosters and am always attracted to them.
