The Flock

15x22 watercolor on Saunders 140 lb cold press paper, an older work that I'd never featured on this blog.  It is now SOLD and remains one of my all time favorite still life pieces.  These concrete garden art chickens and doves were atop a wooden railing in a Kerrville, TX antique store, when I photographed them.  Hopefully the values in it show well with color in the background.

December Chickens ~ 30 in 30 Challenge day 2

5.5x8 watercolor and ink (Uniball Vision Elite pen) and colored pencils on Strathmore Visual Journal for mixed media begun on new year's eve, hence the title.  I finished it yesterday in time to join in another of Leslie Saeta's 30 paintings in 30 days challenge for January.  Photo courtesy Kordelia/WetCanvas where also I posted it for the current weekend drawing event.  I had cropped the chickens in the reference to focus more on the white hen.
