Still Life Painting One Silly Little Chick by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Each year my Daughter buys me a chicken figurine of some sort. This however looks nothing like the chick. I knew at the beginning that it would be different and I was right. It is cute though with a whimsical questioning look. I should have named it something with a question. Oh well!

Painting today was so much fun. It was kinda like visiting an old friend. I got that comfortable familiar warm feeling just like sitting on the front porch with a cool glass of sweet tea...with lemon of course.

I bought some canvas recently that was difficult to paint on. It grabbed the paint and soaked it up making it very hard to paint. I applied gesso and it made it a little easier but I can not say that I ever got it to take paint like it should. This is 20x16 oil on canvas panel.

Chickens are nice to paint. They have such shadows and lights and darks and brights. All of that against a dark background......How can you go wrong with that.

Well!!! Well!!

Today I started a little journey which included chickens. Well actually I did not start the journey today but last Thursday I think. I received in the mail an rectangular box in the mail. The box was wrapped in a mysterious brown paper. What could it be? I had not ordered anything. I gently removed the brown paper to find inside a white box. Oh my!!! It was the traveling chicken and her friends. I took special care as I cut the wrapper and tape leaving the box unharmed. I kept it for two days before I was brave enough to open it. In side this box was a Styrofoam box. I slowly removed the lid not wanting anything to fall out. First a small piece of bubble wrap and then a cloth bag.I pulled them out one at a time while holding my breath that they are all ok. I removed Ms Chick and knew something was wrong as I saw Senor Gallo Rozzo... His legs were broken but not to worry. I got the super glue and in no time he was as good as new.

I had been wanted something special to paint so I went shopping yesterday and bought the pears, 

the tulips, some apples and peppers. I hope that I will be able to paint all of them while they last. The tulips are already looking a little wilted but I hope they at least last one more day. The chicken .....again. 10x8 oil on canvas panel, still life.

Why the name Peek A Boo?

Well because that crazy chicken just showed up again.  I found these

pears at Walmart today and they looked so nice with the stems intact.

Again I felt compelled to paint the chick I got for Christmas. It just kinda screams paint me. 

I looked around my studio and saw a beautiful red apple. One my daughter brought me a couple of weeks ago.I got the knife and cut it up wanting to capture the fleshy part and seeds but to my surprise it was all brown inside so I did what any artist would do I changed it. Thanks for following or just simply taking time to look at my blog.

I bought the little bottle at a Mountain Man Rendezvous in Fort Bridger Wyoming.
I never really had a use for it until now.
