Chick Magnet



"Chick Magnet", a magnificent rooster profile in oils, original painting by Sandra Cutrer. He is painted on a 20" x 24" ready to frame canvas.

Another neat town in Texas is Marble Falls, where I was able to capture several great rooster and hen reference photos. Isn't he a beauty! I thought so when I saw his gorgeous coloring. I had to paint him nearly as soon as we unpacked from our trip, keeping fresh in my mind his apparent attitude toward intruders, such as myself. I got so excited, I forgot to snap more photos of my painting process! There were other roosters "cock-a-doodling" in around his territory, so he was busy rounding up as many ladies as he could, bringing them to a certain area of the generous size yard. It was a rather cool and windy day, so he huddled with his harem at times, then he would quickly jump up, crow apparently as loud as he could, letting the other roosters know to stay clear of his area, then he squat right back down in order to keep himself  (and maybe the girls as well) warm and cozy. What a guy!
