    Chickens looking awesome. Is this a personal project?

    Well, they’re all “personal” but this is for the fun of it. Although it certainly will make another appearance here along with a relevant article. It sometimes happens backwards like that. If you look closely, you’ll see this canvas was suppose to be a portrait of a little girl in a chair. Her parents decided decided to go with a different canvas size, so now it’s going to be a painting of chickens. You can see the chair arm at the top (it was vertical).

    This’ll be fun to watch progress! A friend of mine has asked me to come over and paint her hens, so it’s especially nice to see what you’re doing with this imagery. Killer composition!

    Thanks Laura. I visited your blog as well and love your combination of the watercolor and pen. And the looseness is wonderful.

    I like the historical patina that shows through (the previous image).

    Great sense of gesture and arrangement Ashley!
