Plymouth Rock Chicken!

 

Private commission for a friend. Acrylic, 8.5" x 11".

CHICKENS!

In the past month or so I've been painting chickens again.  I did a handful years ago when I found a great book in the bargain bin titled Extraordinary Chickens. I thought they'd be fun to draw and would be a nice break from doing people all the time.  It's been a great painting exercise and helps me focus more on texture and color and not worry about retaining a stellar likeness of a human.  These are all acrylic on board, 8.5"x11" (with the exception of the top one being 8"x8").

Places I've Seen Brian Setzer

I have crossed paths with Brian Setzer on numerous errands within my neighborhood over the last few years, so I thought it'd be funny to do a series based on that. I call this piece Places I've Seen Brian Setzer, Pt. 1: Lunds. This is acrylic on board, 11" x 14". In case you aren't from Minnesota or don't live there, Lunds is a grocery store/deli.

As much as I want Aaron Rodgers to win it, here is the real MVP of the 2011 season. Acrylic on board, 11"x14".

DAY 31, about 4" x 14". Can't complain enough about how much I need a new scanner. Tried futzing around in Photoshop, but whatever. And that's all I'll say about the color.
