Rooster. 6x8, Oils on board.


At last, I have managed to get to do a painting this afternoon. 1.5 hours. Hopefully I am back in the swing again.

  1. Hi Vic,
    Oh yes my friend, you are back. I love the expression, he's a rooster with attitude. Wonderful design, and love the red of his crown. Once again you have made the ordinary extraordinary! Well done.

  2. Hi Joan.
    You do use wonderful words my friend, thank you. It was very enjoyable painting this Rooster. It looked so easy to paint but it wasn`t. Doing this one has got me back in the groove again, thank God. Sorry to hear that you are not too well Joan. Just relaxe and let everyone look after you. All the best Joan.

  3. Very nice combination of painting techniques! The modeled red of the head set against the bold feather strokes is very striking. Very powerful image. I enjoy the background as well. The subtle light coming from the upper left is quite effective. So glad to see you back!

  4. Hi Linda.
    Thank you for your nice comment. Yes, i`m back thank God. I hope that you will be able to get past that slump as you called it. It`s a louzy feeling to be in isn`t it? I have just started a 12x17 painting of Tower Bridge. I am trying to be bold with my colours this time. I hope it works. All the best Linda.
