15×22 watercolor collage on 140 lb Arches paper; chickens are collage and cut from one failed painting on top of really bad old wooden shack painting to make a new scene. It is meant to be a humorous piece from two ‘dogs’. Moral of the story: Never throw away a bad painting. You can always recycle it or paint on the back side.
C&C welcome :rolleyes:Kay

We must leave our mark on this worldSeptember 13, 2018 at 7:59 am #693261Sweet! Do you have backyard chickens, Kay? I’ve been wondering
September 13, 2018 at 11:09 am #693255Thanks Doug and Cyndi. No, I do not, but we had lots of them on the farm/ranch when I was growing up. My job was to take care of them and I hated it.

September 14, 2018 at 12:49 am #693266A fun painting…Classy Chicks! I had a pet chicken when I was young!
September 14, 2018 at 8:13 am #693262And you portray them so charmingly! We had a dairy and chicken farm behind my family home, and ahhh…the joys of chicken smell
September 14, 2018 at 9:31 am #693256I’ll never forget that smell. We had to wash eggs in PineSol and that has its own aroma. Thanks!
