Want to help me name a drawing? First you get to read how the drawing came about.
Chickens are a popular subject in life and in art. They will make an appearance in my 2019 calendar, and I chose these 2 photos to work from.
The black dude on the lower left has too little detail, so I substituted this one. It is called a “Barred Rock”, as opposed to a “Plymouth Rock”, because it has “bars” on it. (Does a Plymouth Rock have plymouths on it? What is a plymouth?)
The drawing was a challenge; my students have heard over and over from me, “Pick something you love because you will be staring at it for a long time”. Can’t say I love chickens, but I do love a good pencil challenge.
YEA! Finished! But what shall I call it?? “Hectic Hens”, “Large And In Charge”, “Do You Know Who I Am?” or something else entirely? (I already used “Busy Flock” on a oil painting.)
What do you think? You may tell me in the comments, or email me at cabinart@cabinart.net. I’ll wait a week or so, and then pick a winner. There will be a prize. Might be an egg or something. . .

Crazy good chickens not on my dinner plate.
Janet, that is a hoot!
I think you should call it “Chicken Scratch.”
That’s a good one, Dan. Thank you!
“Hen Party”…oh, wait a minute…there’s a rooster, isn’t there? “Rooster’s Harem”? How about “Keeping An Eye On The Girls”?
Thanks, Nikki. I will take them all “under advisement”, which is an overly formal way of saying I’ll put them on a list.
