Description

"Seriously?" he cries out in disbelief. "Do I know how handsome I am? Really? You need to ask me that? Of course I know!" And indeed he does. This rooster is confident. He knows he is good looking. He's the leader - the cock of the walk - the cockadoodle doo of the farm yard.
.................................................................................................................................. He struts in front of the ladies and acts tough when the dog comes around; but let the little red-headed boy of the house come outside, and this rooster just melts. They are one of a kind, these two, fearless and ready to explore the barnyard. Even the cock of the walk has a soft spot in his heart ... But don't tell. He doesn't want to ruin his tough-guy image, you know!
.................................................................................................................................. Done in bright colors that are happy and playful, the paint was laid onto the canvas with a palette knife, a style known as impasto. As each layer dried, another was added, lending depth and dimension to the piece. Pure feathery FUN! The final image was enhanced by computer to make the colors deeper and richer.

Lovely in any room of the house: kitchen, dining room, den. Also perfect for a restaurant, bistro, sandwich shop, or cafe. . . or perhaps a hotel or bed and breakfast.
