MY NEMESIS

6x6" acrylic on masonite panel SOLD

 Such a pretty bird! Who would guess from this rendering that this old rooster is meaner than a junkyard dog! My daughter has two roosters. One... a nice little Bantam and then there's this one....He stands over 2 feet tall and has more aggression in him than a half dozen drunken sailors. He didn't stop crowing the whole time I was trying to get a good photo of him and when I tried to come through the gate.... Yikes! he was on me like a tornado!  jumping all over me and beating me up with his gigantic talons. It was all I could do to defend myself and get the heck outta there. I'd suggest she make dinner out of him but he's probably so tough you couldn't even make a stew from his ornery old carcass.
Anyway ...I put this in the DAILYPAINTWORKS   challenge along with yesterday's painting. Take a look at their site.
