No we ain't gonna die-e-e-e... And I'm not dead, either! Alas, this post is not about Alice In Chains, but there is a rooster - two of them, in fact, or if you prefer, one rooster shown two ways. This is a matched pair of 9" x 12" paintings on panel:
9" x 12" oils on gessoed panel...
I've decided to move away from small daily paintings and start producing larger pieces. In consideration of those days when the daily 6x6 isn't any good, or when the non-art world rudely intrudes on my work routine - a Category of Pain under which I place the phenomenon of "economic collapse", by the way - my lack of an explicitly "daily" update makes a mockery of the word. I'm going to expand and change up things a bit, so I plan to make some changes around here over the next week or two. I've found a good place to acquire nice flowers at a reasonable price, so I will have some flower paintings in addition to other new stuff (flowers are a subject I've wanted to explore for a while, and with spring coming up, I'm that much happier to wander afield from small fruity things).

Of these two paintings, I really like the rooster with the nectarine the best.
The background is darker so the white of the rooster and the bright colors of the nectarine just 'pop' better than the other painting.
Just my opinion.
