Mean Rooster II is an oil on canvas panel measuring 6″x8″ and is available by contacting me.
I was asked why the name, “Mean Rooster”. It’s because this fellow chased his owner around and she had to carry a broom for protection anytime she was near him. 🙂

Rhett is an oil on canvas panel measuring 6″x8″.
This is another in my Farm Animal series of paintings based on many photos of Suzanne McMinn’s animals. You can see them at www.chickensintheroad.com . This delightful blog of Suzanne’s draws you into her life on her farm in West Virginia where she bakes, cooks, makes candles, gathers eggs, and so many more farm chores. It’s a very fun read.

And her pictures of the animals are adorable….
This is how the painting started. I usually have a couple of reference photos taped to the easel so I can easily refer to them as I work.
And this is how it looks completed and framed.

For some time now I have been addicted to a blog that I read everyday called “Chickens in the Road”. It’s by a marvelous writer turned farmer about her experiences on a farm in West Virginia. Her photographs are wonderful. She has lots of animals and many adventures that she writes about in a way that makes you want to come back and read more. Be sure to take a look at www.chickensintheroad.com . (And notice that her blog is listed in my favorites links on the right column of my blog so you can click everyday and look at it from here. I just love the internet!)
Because of her terrific photos, I have been wanting to do a series of farm animals and Suzanne McMinn, aka Chickens in the Road lady, gave me permission to use some of her photos as reference for my paintings. So over the next few weeks I’ll be posting the Farm Animal series based on her animals.
One of my favorite animals that she talks about is Jack. Meet Jack.

My version of Jack is an oil on canvas panel measuring 6″x8″. How can you not love that face????!!!!! SOLD.
