Spring Chickens

"Chickens", oil/linen panel, 12x16

This past Thursday morning was warm and the light was wonderful. I painted with the Thursday plein air group at Cutler Farm. After walking around a bit, I decided to paint the chickens and their coop. It was a challenge to try and capture the chickens as they walked around, so while I painted the buildings I was on the lookout for a chicken standing still so I could quickly add it in with a few strokes of paint.

My easel set up with the completed painting.
