Rooster, IV

My favorite rooster yet!! I started with cobalt turquoise, thinking of Van Gogh palette and added thalo turquoise for a bit more glow an depth. This photograph is a bit deep in the red so it's hard to see his determined eye. I'm not sure where he's headed, but he headed someplace!
I had a great time with this one and will keep the palette in mind for others as well.

Welcome spring and summer!!! It's now mid May and been quite some time since I wrote here. My personal life is headed into a more healthy direction than I have ever known. It's all about me in this small cabin on a mountain top painting day and night. We all know what diesel prices are doing to our activities... gracious! So, I find it's a perfect time for quiet healing and focus on my painting more than ever. I'm painting flowers and roosters and anything else I find inspiring. Most paintings are small compared to the scale I have been working at last few years. Mind you , there is a 24" x 48" on my big easel. :) I painted this adorable 10" x 20" on my 40th birthday. I find it special to my heart.

Please feel free to write a comment,.. love it hate it, I don't mind.
