Something to Crow About

The Rooster 16x16 Gallery Wrap Canvas 11/2019 medium-oil paint using palette knife technique   I enjoy the extraordinary use of color and texture with oil paints and palette knife technique.It elevates the ordinary subject of a rooster to exciting levels.When using the palette knife a wispy effect can be created for the rooster's feathers.In contrast the red textured background of the bricks is chunky.The bright yellow of the roosters central feathers are highlighted by the deep teal hues of surrounding feathers.The texture and color of this painting invites the viewer to go beyond the ordinary.
