Rooster, Funky Chicken, original art, oils on canvas

The sketch is complete. Keeping it simple is best. 

***Make sure you click on the sketch to enlarge it for a better view! Each photo posted can be enlarged, just click on the photo, then click the X on the right hand corner to take you back to the original size.

I'm applying the darkest 'darks' first. Always with oils, the darkest colors are placed in the first layer.

Here I am what I call, "Messing around". Not sure what I like and don't like yet, but going with what I feel.

As you can see, I did not care for the flowers in the background.I think they over-shadowed the rooster, which I want to be my focus, not the flowers. I know, I could have blending them out, but it just didn't feel right for me. 

The finished product! I love his colors, and I am happier with this colorful and flowing background choice. I have titles him, "Funky Chicken". Heck, if people can have purple heads, so can a rooster! I can see the hens coming in a flutter of flying feathers... say that really fast...

Contact me if you'd like to purchase this painting, or scroll through my blog until you see the large ETSY icon, click on it, and it will take you directly to my shop. "Funky Chicken" is for sale!

Malee enjoys watching me paint, and I think I have her approval on this one.Sometimes she is hard to read.  I'm pretty sure she likes the blue hues in this painting, They match her gorgeous eyes.
Thank you for looking at my art work, and reading my blog!
