Roostering
watercolor
(SOLD)
My pet chicken has a father! I met this rather handsome rooster (Lily's father) at the Farmer's Market where "Jus' Tom", the local silkie chicken guy was carrying him around town. He was looking rather regal so I got a couple shots of him before he padded away.

The way you treated the background, you painted his feathers, his contour, the colors -- it's all so beautifully done, Joan! I saw the thumbnail on FB and it looked like a photo!
Wow, thanks for the very, very kind words Francie! It means a lot! :D
Damn, Girl, You Got Talent!-)
Joan..that is a fantastic painting.He is a really handsome rooster too (at least thats what all the chicks say). Nice work...
Thanks much Randy!!!
Tina ... Mahalo! Lily gets her good looks from that side of the family. :)
Oh I love that! I've actually tried painting that very same kind of chicken and it's not easy.
Thanks Casey! I'd love to see your painting! I'm sure you handled it much more proficiently than I!!! I love your artwork!
