"Hatticus" chicken family portraits 6x8 Oil by Mn Artist Joni Finnegan

Winter in the midwest provides artists with splendid uninterrupted time creating. In my case that means painting in my studio,- finally getting thru those reference sketches and photos that were set aside for quieter days. I live in the country were its possible to be snowed in for weeks at a time, getting out on snowshoes to take care of my chickens. Some days they are my "social outing" I talk to them and they communicate with body language and vocal chattering. Good inspiration for fun little paintings- this one no exception. Hatticus has great personality- one of several "family Portraits" I've done this week. Enjoy!

I had fun playing with color and texture on this one. He looks quite happy sitting among the dandelions! I think this one may reincarnate someday into a large scale version. What do you think?
