12x12 Original Oil on Canvas

It won't be long until my husband and I will be moving to our farm home. I mentioned in an earlier post (June 14) that my grandson and I had talked about raising some chickens. He has not forgot!!! Thinking about chickens again caused me to remember a painting that I did of a rooster. I never was very happy with the results. The compostion was not right for the support size. So this is what I did to this fellow.... I cropped him on the canvas, took my exacto knife and did a little "surgery". He was painted originally on a 16x20 stretched canvas. I cropped and cut a 12x12 image from it and I'm much happier now. The composition reads better. I glued the painted canvas to a heavy foamboard with archival glue and framed him. He is in my Etsy shop. You can see two views...one of him and one of him framed. Have a look at him. He is a very welcoming fellow:)
