What is there about chickens that pulls one to paint them? Color, shape, odd elegance and grace? I saw all of them in this one.

I like looking for the colors within the black and white.

I am in love with the Highland Cattle. I not only have found a rancher here who raises them but they also move some about the park system here in England to be part of a grazing program so I have them at a distance of a 5 minute walk. They are beautiful creatures.
I recently found out that this cow had lost her first born in the birthing process and this is her #2. It would appear that motherhood is suiting her

Some more figuratives

I am being pulled to do more and more figurative oils. I am happy with these but be watching for a looser technique soon.

"Toss a Stone, Make a Wish"

8" x 10"

Loved the gesture as she tossed a pebble into the water.

"Free Range in the Snow"

8" x 10"
SOLD

The unlikely scene draws me. Especially when it is unexpected and with no trickery. Chickens walking over a bridge in the dead of winter. Of course. The deep shadows of a lower winter sun helped to show off not only the chickens but more importantly, their shadows.

"Pondering at a Fire Gone Cold"

8" x 10"

So 'everyday different' was this scene. Cold. Crisp. Quiet. Again the long shadows of the winter sun.

"Huddling in the Barn"

8" x 10"
SOLD

Traditional Work

These works done in oil have me further exploring complementary pallets for a more alive feeling.
