George, Out On A Limb

George, Out On A Limb
16" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Rooster Painting
George is a handsome Buff Orpington rooster, and is the mascot at our local Gecko Hardware Store in Lake Highlands.  I snapped a photo of him on in tree branch outside the store...I wanted to get his beautiful feathers and full body in this painting.  I loved layering the paint to get a full-chested and fluffy George on canvas.  This painting is drying now at the studio....contact Kay if you have any questions or comments concerning George.  Thanks, Kay

Georgie Boy

Georgie Boy
12" x 12" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
This is yesterday's painting demo at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas for a group of lovely women from Rockwall, Texas.  We had George, the rooster there live from our neighbors at Gecko Hardware Store in Lake Highlands come down and do some modeling.  He was really good for 90 minute session.  I photographed this while it was very wet, so there is a little glare on it.  This paint is very thick!  But because I used impasto, it will dry fast.  It is on a gallery wrap canvas, so no frame is necessary.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Contact Kay with any comments or questions.  Kay
