Close ups
This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Lisilk was the super host this week who provided a bunch of great photos!
I really like painting roosters. Colorful guys with a ton of attitude.
Plenty of knife work on this one. But the brush was used in the tight spots. I attempted to keep this one loose and painterly. Hope I succeeded.
C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting!
Psalm 136:1 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

DeleteThis is wonderful Dean. Not only is the drawing part perfect - the color and knife work is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteComing from such a knife painter as yourself, I truly appreciate the kind words, Julie!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous and handsome rooster, Dean!! I love the sheen on his dark feathers too. And by the way, my Jessie loves the painting of the Boxer. He looks just like her Harley and she has the portrait next to a photo of him.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow up on the boxer painting, Sherry!
DeleteIt means the world to me to know that Jessie liked it!! :)
