| I started this with a w/w wash of quin. gold, let it dry, and then did another variegated wash with quin. burnt orange and quin. violet. |
 |
| The shadows of the comb and wattles I did in a violet and orange mixture. |
 |
| Then went over all with cadmium red. |
 |
| I added all the details, and here she is. I had never heard the word "cackleberry" till a few years ago, and it still makes me laugh! The painting is nether framed nor mounted. The framable size is 7.5 x 4.5 inches. $75.00 |

| This is the other hen I have started - still a WIP. I found I needed something bright to work on, to alternate with all the darks of the cocker spaniel. As always, thank you for dropping by. Your comments are most welcome! |
