Drawing/paintings of chickens/other fowl!

[MaddiesMum]

My DH started oil painting again after over 20 years away from it in order to present a gift to a dear friend. This is a portrait of her flock rooster, Lancelot, who has battled coyotes, foxes, hawks, invading roosters, and even a rottweiler and lived to tell the tales. He'd never done a chicken before, only mostly fantasy and landscapes and old barns.



This picture of Lancelot is the one used.

Wow, very nice!! I really need to start painting again!

Keep convincing him to do more chicken artwork hehe

He's going to attempt a painting of my Delaware rooster, Isaac, but that may be more challenging, since he's mostly white.

 

[speckledhen]

He did it. Here is Isaac. I showed someone on another thread this painting, but since I had mentioned in this thread that he was going to attempt the painting of Ike, I decided this probably belonged here.


DH tells me he hopes he doesn't have to do another one like this anytime soon, that it was so difficult. I tell him NO WAY! He has found a new niche. Now, he must paint photos of every rooster who loves me, first Spike my Belgian D'Anver, then Deacon and so on and so on....

There is my handsome Lancelot

I so love that boy and my painting....thank you and Tom again Speckledhen.....

Ike came out so fabulous....he simply must do the Purple Princess next of course I shall gladly donate pics of Hector should he feel like doing someone colorful.....gosh I miss him so much. Prince is a good looking boy with color too. Both son and grandson of your Suede look so much like him.

Cyn I simply must put the portrait of Suede in this thread....even though it is a different medium, it is a portrait of a rooster don't ya think? Beaded portrait should count, sorta kinda?

This is Cyn's Blue Orp, Suede that we all sadly lost a year ago this past September. He was the reason I have blue orps as well as his kids and grandkids.....he was such an amazing big blue love. I still think of him every day and he was never mine, except by long distance adoption. I beaded him on a deer hide that I tanned myself the feathers are his, two of his son's, his daughters and his favorite hen, Meg, plus donations from my Lancelot.



Cyn can post the picture it was beaded from.

Yes, of course, it's a portrait of a rooster that belongs anywhere, IMO. I never tire of looking at my sweet, very much missed blue man. Here is the photo it was beaded from:

Thank you-I do think he's really talented.

I haven't painted a chicken in a while, I plan to soon. But, here is a drawing:

I am going to go start a rooster painting right now (in 2 minutes actually, I have to decide which picture to use! lol)!

 

[roostersandhens]

Should I paint this picture? Feel free to say no

 

[speckledhen]

Sure, why not?
