Buy now with Paypal Drying on my small painting easel is another Rooster.  I'm thinking of doing a Rooster series.  These birds are the bad boys of the farm and they can be very inspiring to paint.  There is a lot of artist licence to fall back on with this subject.  Painting a Rooster series could offer me a chance to have quite a bit of fun with color.   On another note, today is a very sad day, but yesterday was worse, because I received a phone call early in the morning that my Nephew died in his sleep.  He was only 35.  I was in complete shock and unable to do much with the day.  Today, I still carry a heavy heart, but I'm able to cope better. God Bless my Brother and our family as we process our loss.   God Bless Christians this Easter weekend.- B

6 x 6 inches, Oil on Board Click to Bid This little lady had her picture taken by me yesterday.  I went on a field trip hoping to see some brand new lambs but I guess I'm too early.  I don't know who wants their birth more...me or the great with lamb ewe. About 30 miles away from my home is a lamb farm of 100 ewes or more.  Every one of them were inside the barn.  So pretty soon.

5 x 5 inches, Oil on Board S OLD I've received some wonderful comments on yesterday's white rooster, so I decided to do another pose for today's painting.  I enjoyed breaking up the whites and graying down the greens and reds. Plus this guy has moxie!    

5 x 5 inches, Oil on Board S OLD March is a hard month because one is pretty sick of winter by the time March rolls around.  March of 2013 came in like a Lion and is going to go out the same...snow and cold.  So I'm feeling cabin fever and was wondering what to paint.  Decided a rooster would be good and because there is so much white in my world right now, so is this rooster and his world.   

5 x 5 inches, Oil on Board Catchy title, but I couldn't resist.  It's the pose. S OLD

5 x 5 inches, Oil on Board I can't think of a better way for an artist to start their week than to paint a value study.  Painting with a monochromatic palette accomplishes just that.
