King Of The Hill

King Of The Hill, 11 x 14 " oil on canvas

I love all the fresh greens in the landscape this time of year and chickens are so beautiful on a lush carpet of grass.  I am going to frame this one so please let me know if you are interested in it and I will tell you how you can purchase it.

I am getting back to finding time to post some of the paintings I have been working on and some commissions I am doing.

Thank you for your interest in my art.

This little bunny is having fun in the grass and I sure had fun painting him. We have had lots of rabbits in our yard and I love watching them as they usually come in groups of two or three. 

Wishing you all a Happy Easter, and I thank you for all your comments and interest in my paintings!

You make it so much fun for me to write this blog and post my artwork!

Barnyard Fowl

This is one from the past that was done from a photo I took several years ago. I like the way the chicken and rooster are linked together in the composition and each is looking in a different direction.

Isn't this bunny beautiful?  I haven't seen him for a few days so I'm glad I was able to snap some good photos a while back.  He loves eating my Daylillies; they are just beginning to come into bloom. This painting would look great in just about any room of your home and I will send it with a free tabletop display easel so you can enjoy it right away.

In other news, the women's US Open Golf tournament is proving to be an exciting match. Our community has enjoyed hosting all these world class golfers, men and women, for two weeks. Can't wait to see who wins on Sunday.

 My paintings are showing tonight in "Eggistentialism" at the Tipping Paint Gallery on West Martin St., from 6-9 pm. There will be some fun activities relating to eggs and chickens and paintings from sixteen area artists with proceeds going to Urban Ministries of Raleigh. The show will hang through April 26 and is a prelude to the Tour D'Coop event which takes place May 21st. Hope to see you there!

When I was a kindergarten teacher, we hatched duck eggs every spring and used the project for lessons in Math, Science, Art, and Language Arts. After they hatched we gave them back to the NCSU Poultry Department Field Laboratory on Lake Wheeler Road in Raleigh. It was always fun to drive out and get the eggs and start them in our classroom incubator. I always learned from it and so did my kids.

I still miss teaching, but then I think about how lucky I am to be an artist.

This gal is on the way to the hen house to hang out with the girls. She can't wait to catch up on all the latest news. Sometimes I feel that way after I have spent many days painting-time to get out and see what's going on. Girlfriends are the best!

Hope you've had a great week-end and are looking forward to some warm days.

This rooster has a grand view from here, no wonder he seems to be staring ahead as if he owns the territory. I love the play of the pastel sky colors against the bold feathers. 

If you have any chicken photos you would like me to paint, please send them, I can always use more.

Thank you for following my blog. Feel free to pin this.

It has been a while since I painted chickens and these are going to be very colorful ones.

They have always been popular, perhaps because they are one of my favorite subjects.

I have taken so many chicken photos, including some in a Buddhist Monastery in Bhutan. I never miss an opportunity to get a picture of one.

This one is going to Raleigh next week to Tipping Paint Gallery.

Thank you for viewing my paintings. I love your comments.

I love painting chickens of all shapes, sizes, and colors.  The dramatic black and white of this one against a grassy backdrop really struck me and I plan on painting a larger one right away in the same square format.

Do you wonder what this bunny is thinking about? Probably chocolate.
