Happy Mother’s Day! 🤍❤️🖤 I haven’t had much time for drawing or painting lately, but I finally got around to finishing this piece this morning. This is my little rooster, Basil. He’s way cuter than I’ve captured him - definitely one I’ll come back to when I’ve worked out this white on black style.
Something a little bit different today. Here’s a coloured pencil and ink portrait of the lovely Gelsomina from @allevamento.cocincina. I’m setting myself a challenge to complete a grid of ‘white on black’ poultry portraits. 🤍🖤🤍 What do you think?
I’m having a heap of fun setting up goods on RedBubble 😁, but I am missing my paints and inks. 😟 I’ll square up my grid and start sharing a new collection of paintings soon...
The lovely Lavender from @theluckycluckers is sitting pretty on this tote. 💜
And here is Wim from the @foodloversfarm - how does he look on this Cockadoodle-clock?
#mothersday is a May event for those of us in Australia, so I’m playing around with a few designs that I wouldn’t mind receiving from my (not so little) kids. If you like this one, you’ll find it on RedBubble (follow the link to my website in my bio).
Last pic of the #plymouthrock... I’m thinking a series of all black and whites would be fun. Which breeds should I start looking for?
A detail of the #plymouthrock I posted earlier... I spend a lot of time on conference calls in my ‘real job’, so detailing each and every feather is more than art - it’s a survival strategy. 😳😬🤓 This is my kind of meditation. What’s yours?
I’ve always loved black and white (hence the black and white logo), so painting a #plymouthrock is an absolute joy. Is there a colour scheme you can’t get enough of?
Caption question... ❓I’m working on a trio of headshots this week. This lovely lady - Cleopatra of @frau.march.und.ihr.federvieh - was the first. She is such a beauty and I can’t wait to come back to her for a fuller portrait. But for now, what should I title this one?
Last photo of #peterthepekin (because I like my Instagram feed to line up 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️).
#peterthepekin from @gardenpoultry was an absolute joy to paint. ❤️♥️🖤 I know this Rooster has many fans - did I do him justice?
More tail feathers... 🖤🤍💜💚 #peterthepekin has an incredible flourish of feathers - so much fun to paint!
Meet ‘Boss’. This Plymouth Rock Rooster is just one of the beautiful beasts at @cactus_hill_poultry. What do you think of him?
