The Look

I don't know what kind of chicken this is, but it sure has a compelling stare.
The Daily Paintworks challenge this week was a chicken. I've had the photo of this guy for a while now, pulled it out to paint several times but didn't.  It seems like the perfect time to finally paint it.

Trapper John, pet portrait

I finally got back into the studio today!!! I'd planned to start yesterday afternoon when I'd finished work, but I was just too tired. So bright and early this morning I was out there painting. Then wiping. But, I still felt really good about it. After lunch I went back out armed with conviction, determination and the knowledge of what I needed to do to get it right. The result is Trapper John.
