What’s funnier than a chicken? Can anyone tell me? If I ever really need a laugh, I go and hang out with my friends chickens. The dramatics and the hysterics are endless. This looks like a pretty calm moment here, but trust me, that hen on the right is mad as a hatter. Aside from comic relief, I enjoy the effects of bright sun on feathers, the goofy faces and the exaggerated body language of chickens. Wish I had some of my own!

Good friends who keep my horse for me also have a whole bunch of other animals, which totally adds to the quality of my life. Just look at the comedic value of this little scene right here for instance!
And can you appreciate the attraction that chickens might have for an artist? There’s always a drama, there’s guaranteed to be comedy, and best of all there’s the magic of sunlight and feathers.

The last time I was through the little hamlet of Dorothy on the Red Deer River, I found this little clutch of red hens, free-ranging it out amongst the sagebrush. When I find scenes like this, I get that powerful nostalgic feeling that hankers for an older, simpler time. Meanwhile, I’m checking my smartphone to see if I have any emails.

Today’s piece is another quickie from my booth at Kamloops. This guy thinks he’s really a gift to the ladies, and has struck a pose for me, just in case I’m susceptible to his charms as well.

Ah, the silly roosters; there’s something so comical about them that I can’t resist painting them. I really should have chickens of my own and am so grateful to my friends for sharing theirs. So far I haven’t even had to clean the hen house!

This magnificent rooster belongs to friends, who have a wide variety of livestock and pets. Evidently this breed, the Orpington, is renowned for it’s charming personality, gorgeous silver and gold plumage and it’s delicious meat. Not that he’ll have to worry about finding himself in a stew pot! As long as he’s living where he does, I believe he’s in for a long and decorative life.

| I just love chickens…what can I say. Now that I don’t have to clean out the henhouse like I did as a kid, or stand at the kitchen sink and clean them on butchering day, I feel very nostalgic about them. I think it’s the the clucky noises, and the clownish antics. They crack me up. (get it?) This entry is especially for my friend Harold LaCoste because I know he loves chickens too. SOLD |
