I finished my "rooster" painting. The progress of this mixed media piece was tracked on my blog at http://AnfinsenArt.blogspot.com/ I used a photo I received from a friend for inspiration. Her daughter is a vetrenarian who has a pet rooster named: "Chicken Nuggets." He was so adorable, I had to paint him. This is not my usual style, but I had fun.

I first sketched what I wanted and then transferred it to a 14x18 canvas. The background and the drawing were done in acrylics. The sketch and the acrylic undercoat are shown on my blog. I finished off the rooster and bale of hay with oil paints. That layer added depth and made the colors pop. I am adding this painting to my gallery.
