Phil wrote me an email that he was looking forward to my return to roosters and hen and so as I was mulling over just what to paint today ... I took the suggestion. I'm just really enjoying painting this for its colors and composition and reminder of all the posturing that took place in the rooster/hen house. It was a day filled with wild sights and sounds.
I'm not done, but I'm making progress.
