Nancy Smith "Ninja Chicken" 10-3-12

  “Ninja Chicken”
Nancy L. Smith
Acrylic on Gesso Board, 12" x 12"
$100
This is just one of the of the "Dozen Egger" series that makes up Nancy Smith's Featured Showing at the Joyful Jewel this month.  Nancy first painted a chicken for a class on focus-style painting.  She had ready models from her own backyard chickens, and soon felt the need to paint more, this time focusing on the heads.  Next she wanted to focus on feet and painted four more.  I suspect it was that each of her chickens wanted to be the favorite model and Nancy couldn't help but oblige each one.

These are colorful paintings chock full of personality and charm.  I love the titles, especially this one which matches the expression and stance so perfectly!
