Let's share our chicken decor!

Or a duck. Or a dog. Or a chicken. Or a cat. 

any of those will do as well, probably why I have so many critters.

I don't have nearly enough, lol.

Here's a couple of things:

Bookend chicken - used it today as a napkin holder -


And some chicken "doodles" - have been wanting to learn to draw chickens and these are my first attempts

Your doodles I would frame and display them, they are very good, and those bookends are pretty nice too. Love them both.

Gee thanks, but think I need to work on this a bit. Trying to figure out how to make them look friendlier in the faces.

I think chickens usually look a bit grouchy. Unless they are snuggled down to sleep, then they look happy.

Your doodles are good @sunflour

you have done it in such a way that I'm intrigued, they make me wonder what they are thinking, that's why I'm finding them so interesting.

Hmmm, guess you're right.

They are thinking, where's our T-day treats..LOL.

Guess since the top beaks point down, they look grumpy? Maybe a straighter line between upper and lower beaks …… and eyelashes would help.

I have studied perspective, but never seem to get it accurate. Thinking about using a photo of one of my gals to study for another trial. Once can get one a little better, gonna try Donna Dewberry's technique and paint it ( she has never done chickens, but I have her instructions on bird feathers - so should be similar).



Honestly, thought this would get some chuckles, so for a real laugh….tomorrow will post something I have painted.

I can't wait, I have tried painting chickens in the past, I wasn't happy, thinking about trying again some day, but I'm too busy looking at them all the time, excited to see someone else's artwork.

@oldhenlikesdogs These are past posts in this thread of some of my One-Stroke- Painting (AKA - painting for those with no real talent

).

IMO real art talent, like yours, is a God given thing, and the rest of us can try to find a way to have fun and make life more interesting.
