Description
This was my first attempt at painting from a photo of this proud and beautiful bird that showed up on our street a couple years ago. I like the fact that raising chickens is entirely legal in our community. This one obviously escaped from its pen (flew the coup) and left us as mysteriously as it came. I suspect it was a hen since I’ve never heard a rooster in our neighborhood. They say the only way to be sure whether it’s a rooster or a hen is to wait for it to lay an egg … or not.
