Birds Old and Sold

I got curious about how many hens and roosters I have painted, so here is a recap for us all to enjoy. I wonder how long this will be a popular subject. A friend had her kitchen decorated in hens and roosters in the ’70s, I think. She gave them away in the ’90s. And, here they are again. . . “We’re back. . .!”

M’s Hen – the first domestic fowl that I painted, a 6×6″.

This one is titled simply: “Fowl” and he appears to be in a foul mood..

Cleverly titled “Flock”, this one was cobbled together from multiple photos.

This is Dinnerbone, the first time I painted him.

Ethan’s Chickens, and I don’t remember the size. Probably 8×8″ in order to get the detail on both the birds.

Ethan’s Rooster – I wonder if it was Gumball or if it was Dinnerbone? I might have called him Top Dog. This one was 8×10″.
