Two Steppin'..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I love chickens, they are so comical and very proud, at least the roosters. Why would'nt they though, when you see those colors in their feathers, wonderful.



I went to Austin zoo to get these photos, made a composit from which to work.



I had a nice piece of rich burgandy suede matboard, and thought the oranges would look great on it.



What do you think?

Ruffled feathers..Pastels..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Ruffled Feathers was an unfinished demo started quite a while ago. I did not want to waste the Sennelier (full sheet) of paper, so decided to try and redeem the image to a finished product.

Here is the image completed.. I am posting the steps of this below ..
I used three of my own photos and combined the chickens in the one painting.

This one is all pastel. Sennelier paper is a sanded paper and cannot (very successfully) have any wet media like alcohol on it, however, I have done that in the past too. It's tricky though, and I would not advise it.

I did crop some off the outer edges, and feel  it looks better for doing that.

                                            This image is 16.5 " x 21" unframed
                                                                   $235 plus S/H

             Remember prints of this image are also available through Fine Art America:

This little hen sat and sat for weeks, waiting for her new brood to hatch. Ah, the commitment of motherhood starts long before the chicks arrive.

Oil on board, 4 images, 5" x 5" each, mounted on a 2" deep, gallery wrapped, painted canvas, $375.-
I finally put the boys together on one canvas. The paintings were inspired by our trip to Kauai in May, where the beautiful roosters and chickens are abundant, and noisy, crowing at all times of the day and night.
