King of the Coup

I started a painting class last week and worked on a painting of my Mother-in-law only to be met with increasing frustration so this week to loosen up and have a little more artistic freedom I started working on this painting of the King of the Coup. Exactness is not as important when painting a chicken as it is with a portrait so this was a good opportunity to just have fun with the painting. There was so much blue paint on my canvas that I had to come to a stopping point or contaminate all colors with blue.
