Holy Chicken, limited edition print (3)

Stretched canvas on giclee

 

I think chickens are beautiful. People make fun of the sacred cows of India but when you think about the cow and all that it gives of its body, why the heck would anybody in his or her right mind kill a cow and eat it? It's like breaking the neck of the goose that laid the golden eggs!

 

The above stretched canvas giclee, or high quality print, is reproduced from an Original Finger Painting I made for my friend Judy, who absolutely adores chickens. She practically starts speaking in tongues when she talks about chickens. I'm probably in danger of that, too, so I'll just let the picture above do the talking--or clucking. Enjoy!

 

Y'all know I love magnets.

To celebrate my new Monster Series and the success of last night's Art Show at The 'Loop, I've created magnets of my Yeti and Sasquatch Original Finger Paintings! I've also created a Something Tiki This Way Comes: Moai magnet for tiki fans (I haven't forgotten you).

Today I spent several hours reorganizing, streamlining, and updating my gallery.

I've gotten rid of the Mythology, Religion, and Spirit collection/category that existed in both my gallery and shop. Part of the reason was the duplication of a Buddhist and Buddhist Series category, and part of it was because the longer I paint, the more I understand what I like to paint--and rather than relegate Greek mythology-themed paintings to a Greek mythology-themed category, I thought it more appropriate to acknowledge it as the Greek Series and make it one of my ongoing series.

Same goes for work that meditates on Biblical (as in, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) themes. It's now my Biblical Series.

What's not a series or category were all Original Finger Paintings categorized as First Nations inspired. I found that creating a Bird Series better matched and clarified my interest there, and my preexisting Tiki Series already cohesively held my iterations on Oceanic indigenous art.

As for new creations, I've made a Monster Series because I feel it's a juicy theme for me to explore, ever since I busted open with Yeti and Sasquatch. Yay for monsters and the misunderstood!

I've also made a set for artwork that's been reproduced as Limited Edition Prints and also as Little Beauties Art Cards. They're housed in the New, Available, & Sold collection and will be easier for collectors to find what they're looking for in my gallery.

Please visit and enjoy!
