Today I finished a painting of a rooster that I started while teaching a class this last session at Riverside Arts Center. I always paint along with my students. I decided that I would use a decorative approach to finish this painting and used an extra-thin black Sharpie marker to add the detailing textural effects. This painting is 9" x 12" and is on 140 lb. cold-pressed Fabriano-Artistico watercolor paper. I had originally posted a painting of the same rooster, but in a different style.
Welcome to Barb's Daily Creations! I have lofty ambitions - I want to post a new drawing or painting every day. The purpose of this, of course is to stay creative and on task artistically even when I may not feel the muses calling, prodding and pushing. I hope that you enjoy my humble efforts, because, ultimately, that is the purpose of creating art - to enrich lives - mine and yours. Thanks for visiting!
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year.

BARB, YOU'D LAUGH BECAUSE MY KITCHEN IS FILLED WITH A COLLECTION OF ROOSTERS. MY DAUGHTERS BEST FRIENDS HUBBY DIED AND SHE JUST SOLD HER HOUSE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. SHE ASK MY DAUGHTER IF I WOULD LOVE SOME OF HER JUNK TO HELP TO DECORATE OUR HOME THAT WE HAD JUST MOVED INTO. I'D WANTED FOR A LONG LONG TIME TO MOVE OUT OF OUR OTHER HOME AND GET CLOSER TO MY DAUGHTER AND HER FAMILY. SO ANYWAYS, I'VE GOT A ROOSTER HERE AND A ROOSTER THERE. ALL KIDDING ASIDE THE KITCHEN LOOKS FINE.I EVEN HAVE A ROOSTER LAMP. JUST AS CUTE AS CAN BE IF YOU LIKE ROOSTERS.LOL
