Painting Of A White Hen

Little White Hen
10 x 8", oil on canvas

Painting portraits of chickens has become a nice little escape for me. When I take breaks from the paintings that I have committed to, doing a painting of a hen or a rooster becomes a challenging diversion. They are never as easy as I imagine them to be but once I start one, I have to finish (8 x 10's are a good size, they do not take long to complete and they fit in almost any kitchen).
