This is definitely an early morning rooster in deep shadows.  The golden light only catches highlights on his head, neck and feathers.  His wattles really glow too.  He's quite a show-off.

Dramatic Lilies Oil Painting Still Life Art Flowers Vase

Oil on canvas hardboard, 14" x 11".

The day lilies were painted against a white background so it was nearly a study in white on white to me.  I thought that each lily seemed to be vying to be the most dramatic of the three so I played up that thought and vision.

Sadie in Summer Oil Painting Pet Cat Art Animal Portrait Siamese Feline Sunshine

Watercolor on Bristol board, 10" x 11 5/8".

I painted this portrait of a beautiful Siamese cat a few years ago when I was exploring painting with watercolor on Bristol board.  I remember how I liked the "puddling effect" of the paint on the smooth surface.  It's also much easier to lighten an area that has become too dark or intense on the Bristol without ruining the surface of the painting.  I think I captured Sadie's intense interest in her environment!

Feisty Rooster Oil Painting Pet Portrait Art Chicken Farm Animal

Oil on Canvas, 10" x 8".

Some roosters look very confrontational.  But they can also be seen as simply assertive I think.  This one has a certain look and the viewers can decide what his attitude represents to them.  I think he's feisty.
