Back when I was still in Austin, I visited a chicken farm that belonged to one of my painting students. I took a lot of great reference shots, but I haven't had the time to sit down and do some work from them. I did a little chicken watercolor a few weeks back in my sketchbook, but I sat down and made a more in-depth study of this rooster. I kept the left side very open and "process"-ee, I've always loved seeing that in oil paintings/studies.
