I love chickens, they are so comical and very proud, at least the roosters. Why would'nt they though, when you see those colors in their feathers, wonderful.I went to Austin zoo to get these photos, made a composit from which to work.
I had a nice piece of rich burgandy suede matboard, and thought the oranges would look great on it.
What do you think?

I think, as always, that they are splendid. Also, I liked your picture better than your aunt's of the same place in Australia. You are so amazingly talented, Rae. And again, I am so very glad that you were able to do a picture of Jackson for me before he left us. It's a treasure.

Yep, the burgandy works great, Rae!
Roosters are among my favorite subjects, too.
Great composition on this!
Thanks so much Dean, how are you going? I have to visit your blog now, see what you are up to,
Cheers

I think Awesome! I keep thinking I'll paint chickens & roosters from photos I took in Jamestown & at the Austin zoo, but I haven't yet. Maybe I will soon.

Splendid fellows! Nice job! xoxoxo
Reallly like the use of color in "Two Stepp'in". The roosters seem to vibrate with life. Great job Rae!
Thanks everyone, these guys were a lot of fun to paint. I am happy they have generated some wonderful comments. Thanks :)
I don't do chicken! But, I love these roosters. Wonder why they are so fun to paint? Great color.
