I was going through some photos I took this past summer of my friends' chickens and found a good candidate for a painting. Chickens can be incredibly funny sometimes. I was snapping shots of an Isa Brown hen when another hen decided she wanted to get into the picture, too. I still have the chicken wire to paint, the Isa Brown to finish and more work on the background in general. I didn't plan a background beforehand this time. Sometimes I let the main subject/subjects dictate that for me. I'd rather not make it too busy and draw attention away from these two 'hot chicks'.
Love the delicate colors in the front chicken. I'm trying to get a bit more delicate with my watercolors : )
ReplyDeletePersonally I love your bold use of color, Rachel. I just visited your blog and your work is wonderful.
