Yesterday Lynne and her very funny hubby, Michael, came by The Studio to pick up their Rooster-a commissioned piece she asked me to do. (You might remember that Lynne is my friend who went to the Pioneers and Primitives Retreat at Sassafras Farm with me last September. You can read more about that here. Lynne is the first one on the left on the second row from the bottom in the photo.)
She purchased this large cut-out of a rooster and wanted it painted. It was a little bit of a challenge as it had the grooves cut in it but in the end that made it really interesting.
I started by painting it with a coat of Gesso. Then it was a matter of laying in a variety of colors to make him have some depth. In the end, it turned out great. I liked it and I think Lynne and Michael were happy with the result.
