Chicken Fun

I had such a fun time watching a demonstration by Terry McDonald I decided to come home and try it.  Everyone keeps asking me if I've painted my chicken and now I can say I have. It was a interesting process, applying molding paste to the canvas and coating it with black gesso.  You can see the black coming through as an outline to the subjects. Now they need a home, a coop?

Cleaning the Front Porch of Heaven

Think it's about finished. I remembered the wonder ballet PNB did a couple years ago, Dancing on the Front Porch of Heaven and the name has always stuck in my mind.  When I started the background I wasn't sure where I was going, but wanted to do the circles.  Realizing they weren't raindrops I decided they must be something else and they were definitely drifting down. Since the name came to me I have spent time wondering what sort of debris would be wafting down from heavens entrance.  Something for you to contemplate this rainy weekend.
