King of the Barnyard, 12x12 inch Gallery wrap canvas w/painted deep edge
I painted this fun little painting in acrylics while waiting on the three oil paintings I have in progress to dry. I used a photo ref as a guide and a bit of license to make the painting impressionistic. The acrylics were drying very fast during the work and to get the blends, I had to paint faster than my usual pace. I think the reason for the paint drying faster was because the space heaters were on in the studio and the humidity was low.

On the easel: I have the two wip's shown in the last posting nearing completion and hope to finish one soon. And, I started another oil painting of three roseatte spoonbills and have filled the canvas with the first layer. I also have another portrait of my grandson about halfway finished.
I enjoyed painting the rooster. Always fun. Hope you like the painting.
Let us pray before we paint,

There is just something about chickens I love too. I have down a chicken painting and the purchaser who bought it commissioned another one! Your chicken painting is lovely. Great use of time while your other paintings dried!
Thanks Chrissy. I enjoy painting roosters. We had chickens two houses back in our moves and they were always getting into it. At one time we had horses, cows, 19 cats, 7 dogs, and a bunch of sheep. My girls kept picking up strays and bringing them home. At that time my wife and I both were working full time and two daughters in junior high school.
