Chicken production

After accepting my instructor's invitation to enter the Senior Art Show in Santa Rosa, California in late September, I floated on the excitement for 24 hours and then switched to something more chaotic. What to paint? Will it be good enough? How many pictures make a composite? Do I even want to enter a composite. Etc., etc.

Today I proposed to my instructor that I would begin producing chickens, the paintings that is, and she can decide what she wants to enter (since I will be a student entering under her name). That seems to be agreeable to both of us so now I'm thinking about, drawing, painting and otherwise producing large flocks of chickens, in a manner of speaking. I started this one in class today and may, or may not, finish it.

In an ideal world I would complete one chicken piece every day for the next 60 days so the instructor has lots to select from, but most of us don't live in perfect worlds so that probably won't happen. But it is the goal... Here Chicky, chick, chick!
