Going to Yonkers

Going to Yonkers  17 x 11  pastel

Day 21 — This rooster commanded quite a presence at the coop. He sported many colors and when the sun hit just right, he glowed. I love the girls in the background watching him strut by.

I have been asked to show some progress shots, which I tried to do for this painting, but I always forget to take them. I need to set a timer to take a shot every 20 mins or so. 

This is the rough block in stage. I was literal to the photo and added the shadows from the coop roof,
but my husband said it was distracting (he was right!) so I removed them for the final (above).
