Stepping Out-Chickens

Close ups

Oil on 5x7 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Oty was the gracious  hostess.

What can I say?...I can't pass up a chicken. I sometimes feel like the Colonel Sanders of the art world....I'm thinking my chicken paintings might sell a whole lot better with sides of mashed potatoes and biscuits!!

This painting was about 50/50 brushes and painting knife.

I attempted this (loosely) in the style of  that great painter, Cheri Christensen. Thanks for the tip, Julie! I really like to hop around in cyberspace and try to emulate the styles that blow my socks off...hoping some will stick. Usually it doesn't and I just wind up painting like  my ol' boring self, but with cold feet! Brrrr!  
I really appreciate your comments!

Different Strokes-Chicks

 Close ups

Oil on 7x5 gessoed hardboard.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. The very talented Kay was the gracious hostess who supplied all the reference photos.

The one little odd-ball chick caught my attention. Was it proud to stand out...or trying to blend in?? Great interactions between the three.

 The board was lightly toned with alizarin crimson acrylic paint.
The oil paint was applied running the full gamut as far as thickness goes. From ultra thin wash which allows some drawing and toning to show....to laid on thickly via painting knife (on the odd-ball).

C&C welcome. Thanks for checking it out!

^{Jude 1:4} For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Chick Trio

This is my submission to Carol Marine's DPW Challenge. As per the challenge, this is a split complementary of yellow orange, blue, and purple. This applies to the colors of the objects or areas within the painting...not the palette.
I know that the principle is sound. But I'm not too sure about the result I achieved. Will have to evaluate it more/longer.

I like the symbolism of chicks at this time of year. The promise of New Life at Spring! Easter! God's Promise to us!

^{Luke 23:23} But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed. ²⁴ So Pilate decided to grant their demand. ²⁵ He released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, the one they asked for, and surrendered Jesus to their will.

Thankful (Happy Thanksgiving)

Oil on a 7X5 hardboard. To quote my chicken: " I'm thankful I ain't a turkey!" Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

This is my contribution to the WDE at Wet Canvas. The reference photo was graciously provided by Gail.

I reverted back to my favorite thing...pre toning the board with red acrylic. I like how it peeks through and activates the painting. Hope you all like it!

Roosters/chickens were really high on my list a few years ago...it's good to revisit them again. The image for this painting was supplied by Kay for the WDE at Wet Canvas.

Happy Father's Day!!

Chicks

Oil on 5x7 gessoed hardboard.

I've had this photo in my collection for quite some time-wanting to paint it. I had been painting it in my mind. That is, I was going over what I wanted to try for with this one. I laid in thick paint with a painting knife then went in with a brush. My aim was to have the thick paint inner blend in beautiful ways, creating new and unexpected colors! Textural excitement.
I feel as if I half way got there. Some parts I really like...that's why I've included three close ups.
The chick on the left appears to be too short compared to the one on the right. The painting is true to the photo, but since it looks strange, maybe I should fix it. What do you think??

Wake Up Call

I used to do a number of these birds a few years ago for eBay...sort of a niche I fell into. So it was a lot of fun doing this one.

White Rooster

Oil on 7x5 archival canvas panel.

I quite frequently set specific goals for myself before beginning a painting. My goals for this rooster were: use varied, close value, broken color....Use plenty of paint( gobs)....use the painting knife for a larger percent of the painting than I normally do (stay away from the brush as much as possible thus avoiding getting caught up in unnecessary detail)....mix much of the colors directly on the panel.

To these ends I feel I was fairly successful. Right now I'm happy with it....gotta look it over a little while.
