    Ben, Keith, Dana and Sandra - Thanks so much. Glad you like my rooster. I do too! I am going to try another rooster later in the week and break up the brush strokes a bit. This one was really fun to paint.

    Me gusta mucho,muy fovista.Pero creo que con las patas estaria mejor. It likes me a lot. Matisse could have painted, but I think with its legs would be best

    He's wonderful! And your knife work goes so well with this subject too.
