hi Leslie! i'm surprised how detailed the chicken looks,it was just a few strokes,i'm fascinated how the light shines through those red bits on top thanks!
Thanks so much for your comments on my blog..you were one of the first people to comment on my blog almost a year and half ago..it prompted me to click over and see your work,I've been a fan of yours ever since. Absolutely love your stuff. I've added you to my favorites and would love to traffic share with you, please feel free to add me to yours as well.
The light gives atmosphere to the chicken yard. I just feel like I am with the chickens early in the morning and one is eyeing me in hopes of some grain. I enjoy seeing your easel set up with the chickens. Wonderful. Also, thanks for your thought provoking comment on my blog.
Awesome chickens and you got right in there with them which is the way to do it. A painter I admire told me long ago that to paint cows you need to be standing in cow shit ;) I am linking you through your car blog. I have lots of car fans in my life and they would really appreciate the paintings
thanks for the link Mary,hope your friends enjoy the car paintings,lots of Nascar! you are right about standing in the middle of it,that is why plein air is such a good experience... i shall link you too.
Rob, very very nice. I don't know how you managed doing such a great job of the chickens from life... they are fabulous. There is something very working in this piece that I can't say specifically.. but you've done it!
if we knew Michael,we would be doing master pieces all the time,and that's not going to happen,up and down,up and down,all we can do is keep looking,keep trying...but the winter light surely helped...
spend a little time with the chickens,tick-tock,the light was beeeautiful!

Your chickens are great, it must be so much fun to watch them.
But what really makes this painting so wonderful to me is the light, as in all your work. Great stuff!
