This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Jean was the gracious host this week who provided a bunch of great photos.

Just couldn't resist the colorful rooster! Plenty of thick paint for texture!
This was a lot of fun to paint!

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting!

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!

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Maureen did a great job of hosting this week and provided a bunch of terrific photos! She always does.

I came across this quote by John Singer Sargent: "No small dabs of colour - you want plenty of paint to paint with."
I have been guilty of being stingy with paint...so this time my mounds of color were a little more generous. But most of the areas around the bird were done with thin paint for contrast.

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting!

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Lin was the hostess who supplied this great reference photo!

I picked the fancy rooster. Chickens were a very common subject to me a few years ago. It's nice to try one once more.

I've been surfing the blogs as usual. One thing that was mentioned quite a bit was using enough paint. And I came across this quote by John Singer Sargent: "No small dabs of colour - you want plenty of paint to paint with."

The Boss-Rooster

This is my contribution to this week's The Color of the Year Challenge at DPW posted by Kathy Weber.

Here's a shortened version of the instructions: The Pantone Company has selected "Tangerine Tango" as THE color for 2012. So, try to do a painting based around this color.
I found yellow ochre plus cad red light was a close match to the "Tangerine Tango" color.

I had fun laying the paint on extra thick with both painting knife and brush. Hope you like it!

Here's an example of Tangerine Tango

The tough expression on this ol' bird kinda reminded me of Robert De Niro in "Taxi Driver".

This is my submission to Carol Marine's DPW Challenge. This one was fun 'cause I have a thing for painting chickens...Lol!
I lay down a lot of paint on this one using both a palette knife and brushes.

Banty Rooster Revisited

Acrylic on 7x5 hardboard.

This painting was posted on Sept. 12. I've been looking it over and wondering what sort of changes can I do to this to make it more interesting. Since it is acrylic, I say why not play with it? I changed the lighting on the rooster...added a little stronger chroma in spots...and added a few color surprises.
Though it wasn't changed in any major way, I kinda like the small improvements.

Ecclesiastes 5:18 Then I realized that it is good and proper for a man to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in his toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given him—for this is his lot.

The surface is so smooth it's fun to see the thinned acrylic puddle and slide all over it. When it started losing it's slipperiness, I sprayed it with clear acrylic gloss coat...and here we go again! I also used my trusty Faber Castell Pitt Pen.

Loved this little bantam's fearless attitude. Looks like he's gonna shout "I am the GREATEST" ala Ali.

The image for this painting was supplied by Stoney for this week's WDE at Wet Canvas.
