Cage Free -- 30-in-30, Day Twelve

Avant-Garde
Cage Free Series 019

I admit it, I was watching Project Runway and the name for this painting just struck me.  This chicken is a Silkie Bantam and I just love the mop of feathers in its face.

"Avant-Garde"
6" x 6" oil on gessobord, unframed.
This painting is available through Daily Paintworks Auction.

30 in 30, Day Thirty

"Sundae Best"

Doesn't she look delicious?

I found a drawing of this dress on Pinterest but could not find who the artist was (I tried).

The 30-in-30 Challenge is complete.  I'm surprised that I finished.  Surprised, relieved, exhausted, proud.  February is nearly here and January is a blur.  But in a good way.  My mother said she gets a little down in January since all the holiday festivities are over.  I told her to try a 30-in-30 Challenge.  She would not be bored.

Tomorrow I will be back to let you have a peek at my studio after a 30-in-30 Challenge and give a tally of all the supplies used.

"Bluebell Dance"

I have been thinking for a while that I wanted to try some fashion dresses.  Even before I saw some of the beautiful designs of artist Nancy Medina. 

This dress is a design by Jason Wu from New York Fashion Week 2013.

I had a lot of fun doing this dress but all those tiny areas with a palette knife kind of made me want to pull my hair out (that did not stop me from doing another dress design so I must be crazy.)
