  1. I really, REALLY need to arrive at a place of zen-like calm within myself where I don't automatically feel the need to speed myself straight to your Etsy site and gobble up everything you create. Otherwise, I'm going to be petitioning the Obamanator for a bailout.

  2. YEAR OF THE CHICKEN!!! I'm like Moi but since it's time for a new camera, other lucky folks are going to snap up your work. Unless you have a chicken named Nikon?

  3. moi: you are TOO kind. and, i believe you have done your part to keep me in chicken feed. it's not for Etsy but a rooster show at a gallery opening july 3. this is an 8x8 panel. in the silver floater frame it looks really nice. i know obambi isnt going to bail me out so grow lil tomatoes grow!

    shamu: ditto what i said to moi. dont worry bout this one, youve been a great patron. btw, susan reminded me about the wine label...will do that next week. but i need to have somebody fill out the word doc for me - i dont have that. yeah! looking forward to what you do with the new camera.

    YEAR OF THE ER ER ER ER ERRRRRRRRRRR

  4. I love this piece so much! :) Are you going to make prints of it for your shop? HMmmmmmmmm?????? Inquiring minds would like to know. :) Gorgeous colors, and such happy, contented chickens! They're all listening to the rooster sing. :)

  6. Adorable! Year of the chicken indeed. I think I was born that year. No wait, that was year of the Rooster, but close enough. Love the colors, but most of all I love that truck from a couple of posts down!!!

  7. Sorry before hand but I can't help myself...is the rooster at the top greeting the new morn or shouting expletives because he has landed in such a way that only a rooster proctologist can extract him from?

  9. This is so beautiful and colourful sweet girl,the detail in the feathers and nests is wonderful...I just love it... I can see from the colours that you are feeling happier and I'm so glad of that, you have had more than your share of sadness lately...
    Its time for a change, I hope you are feeling fulfilled both spiritually and physically with your garden and time spent at Chickory. ♡

  10. send me video and I'll make one too!

    LOVE this and I think it will be well received. It almosts answers, what came first, the chicken or the egg?

    Like Moi, stalking your Etsy sight is my favorite thing to do.

  13. shamu: grrherhahahaha you fell for my plan! (no, thanks so much!!! - i know what i am going to do)

    pamokc: isnt the truck great? of course its in the shop now with predictable issues but it should rock soon. as V likes to say: year of the cock. grherha

    walking man: that is rather odd how ive placed him - maybe i should paint some more tree behind him into the sun. thanks for the heads up.

    aunty: i am getting 5 hens on july 2. they are belgium antwerps (look at danis post with her daughter -like that) and 3 barred rocks. those are the black and white striped ones. my first chicken was a barred rock. the original "chickory"

    dianne: i am feeling happier. now that trouts eyes look normal again and the chickens are getting the routine of travel down, the truck. now i am trying to earn money for a shed! then, i will have the basic elements to build upon. thanks sweet girl for coming by.

    boxer: really? i'll send you a dvd with all the footage. youll do it better than i ever could. i received my dark shadows package!! thanks so much. now all i need is tail of lizard.....

    the rooster painting: just one of many for this show. trying to do recession size work. but working on large paintings now.

    dani: i cant imagine why ;-)

    kristen: thank you! its on board which is heavily gessoed so not as textural as it could be. im working on some large paintings that have very interesting surfaces.

    gnome: you already do. youre the rooster!!!

  17. y el sol brille et brille et brille ..

  18. Just love that the Rooster shares a palette with the sky and the leaves!

    How do you obtain such saturated colors? Is it because you use gouache?

    I have a drawing I did a while back which I hope to one day paint BUT I have not because I am a dreadful technician with watercolors. I am best with markers but I have family who will off my head if I do another piece of art using them!
