IF: Chicken

Chicken Fight - illustration by Paul Zdepski
CHICKEN FIGHT!

These two are squabbling over a piece of Worm Jerky... It's the middle of a drought, and they found it under a piece of corrugated steel behind the tractor shed.

4 Roosters - oil painting by Paul Zdepski

More sedate is the four chickens in the shade - late July at high noon. I painted this back in 2003 while working for Sono Luminus and Ayrshire as their designer. I kept trying to do "nice and pastoral" pieces to sell at the local Virginia Piedmont art shows. I played that game for a while, but felt my artistic center was elsewhere.

Pastoral is nice, and you did it well, but I think I like the emotion in #1.

Wow, I like them all, but then again, I'm probably biased! :) Have a wonderful week!

how different, squabbling for a worm or just lying in the sun!

You know they fight for money, out west...Don't think the chickens have any say in the matter!
I like how you handled both scenes so beautifully, but what contrast! :o)
