These are “Portraits” of my chickens. I only have five. Rhode Island Reds, a bold, go anywhere, independent type of chicken, and great layers. They have developed the habit of coming to the front door and the other day this is what I saw as I was eating breakfast, peeking right in the front door window. My challenge in painting is getting started, letting loose with the brush and then knowing when to end. I always want to do more when I think I should be almost done. The “more” is not usually what I want so with Double Trouble I am simply stopping without adding the “more”. I started with a used canvas that I picked up at a garage sale and painted the background over it. There is lots of texture in this piece because of the previous painting. I like texture. A lot of times painting with acrylics it’s a little flat. With this painting, I wanted it to be rough and I really loaded on the paint. In person this really shows. 16 x 20 Inch Acrylic on Canvas Board.
