folk art chicks

Im running a poultry production house over here.  fifty one cents of cull plywood cut into 8x10s were the substrates for today's series of hens. Their imperfections and raggedy surfaces make the paint look rustic and slightly weathered. Someday these birds will be carted off to the farmer's market just like the living.


a favorite color combination: crisp black and white on fresh green

Some are painted sweet and naive.

 A silver-spangled Hamburg. Looks a lot like Easter.

Others are more realistic.
This one has the one of the bottle caps Shamy sent  - I have no idea what drink this cap represents - but i love the simple design.
