This is one of my daughter's chickens, an adorable rooster that my granddaughter named "Checkers" for some unknown reason. But Checkers it is! I spent around an hour with him last week, taking photos and making sketches, and here's the painting that resulted from our little visit. It's an acrylic painting on a stretched 16x20x3/4" canvas and is for sale on Etsy, along with prints of the painting.
I just love how feisty he is, and I think I may have to do at least one more painting of him.
I also redid the sunflower painting again, and I really like it better now. It's much happier looking!
I paint and sculpt for a living. It's the best "job" in the world - and the most challenging. I love every second of it. I paint, sculpt, throw (on the wheel) mostly animals, especially dogs, cats, and farm animals, but I often create in other themes as well, such as landscapes, etc. I paint mostly on canvas with acrylics (sometimes oils). My style is bright and usually realistic.
