This is an older painting from several months ago that was never posted. He's actually the first bird of the sort that I've been doing lately. I was so pleased with him; it gave me the push to try the other birds.
He's a little larger than 5 x 7 and painted only with Quinacridone Gold, Indigo, and Quinacridone Red. The green in the tail is from the Quin. Gold and Indigo mixed - I love that color every time it appears!
His face is sharpened with a touch of Prismacolor colored pencil that looks like Tuscan Red and Goldenrod. I didn't write them down and don't remember now which ones they were.
I hope you like him - he was a first of a kind!

I like him for he surely is an individual with definate elan....
Your "first of a kind" really turned out great! Very well done. Like the colors you chose too with the limited palette. Interesting background.
Well it's no wonder you continued... he is wonderful
How lovely!
i collect roosters, and absolutely love this one! the colors are great..
This bird has great attitude and fabulous colors. He's great!
He's terrific! I love all the bright colors and the looseness of the painting. Way to go!
Very good. You have a great sense of colours.
He's definitely "roostery". I can hear him crowing.
I love this style - I was trying to do something similar the other day but I can't pull it off like you can! Not fair... :(

Beautiful... so much movement and energy here,...Love your color choices! :)
Your birds are wonderful! I particularly like the expression you captured on the rooster's face. I also enjoyed your splashy style. Looking forward to stopping by again so to see more of your work.
You're all so kind - and I really appreciate your time and thoughtfulness. This rooster is one of my favorites - both the subject and the colors.
