More Roosters in the hen house... Thursday, May 8, 2008

Fine Feathers 6"x6"	Fancy 6"x6"

Struttin' - in progress 6"x6"

I painted outside on my front porch again today. It was a bit more windy but another beautiful day. After refining the two rooster paintings I did on Tuesday, I worked on another rooster that was strutting around! I used my usual orange-tinted Wallis paper for this one. I do have to get more Belgian mist paper! I used it for the first time last year during my Wyoming trip.     Comments

I worked outside on my front porch today, the weather was so beautiful. These roosters are part of a new series of small paintings of roosters and chickens from my visit last spring to Blackrock Farm in Kennebunkport. For rooster #1, I used Wallis Belgian Mist professional grade sanded paper. For rooster #2, I used my usual orange-tinted museum grade Wallis paper. I do like the effect and tone of the Belgian mist paper. I used it for the first time last year during my Wyoming trip.     Comments
