My Chicken Wall

I know I am supposed to be painting mermaids in The Mermaid Shed, but....

I Love Chickens!

What is it about chickens that make people want to collect them? I cannot tell you how many of my painter friends love to paint them. I know I am supposed to be painting Mermaids in The Mermaid Shed, but I can't help it. I was just watching a gardening show on PBS and lo and behold the woman had a beautiful formal garden and....A Chicken coop!! I almost wept with jealousy. I would love to have a chicken coop. I did have a single chicken once. I agreed to let my son bring it home from kindergarten. We named it "CHICKIE CHICKIE" It rode on my shoulder. I loved that chicken, but boy did it smell. I still loved it and would love to have one now.

This is my chicken wall as my children call it. The large painting is by a really great artist, Madison Latimer. I love her vibrant colors and her unique take on the rooster! Very creative. She did an art show at my home and I was in heaven with wall to wall poultry! If you ever see a giant box truck on the road with painted chickens all over it, that will be her!

This rather blurry picture shows my two latest paintings. I prefer the yellow one. I need to work on the tail on the black and white one. The way I work is that I hang my paintings around my house in various places and live with them for a while. Usually, I see some thing that bugs me. My husband does not understand the point of this... he thinks everything is great and does not enjoy discussing the nuances of a rooster's tail!






Really, I love him. I need to name him. Henny Penny??







I like the texture that I put around his head, but his tail needs to be larger. I like the background. I used some new colors.


Well, I hope you like my chickens....maybe the next time I can share about a chicken coop in my own garden!

Oh and if you have time check out my other blog, www.mydayswithdaisy.blogspot.com or my new Squidoo lens, www.squidoo.com/ticklish-mermaids.com

I have been so busy here at Ticklish Mermaids!

I know I need to paint but the computer keeps singing it's siren song to me! I just discovered Squidoo. It is a cool site where you can learn and teach. It is like a blog for experts. Hard to explain I know, but check mine out. I wrote an article per se on Increasing your online presence. I put on my school teacher hat so please read http://www.squidoo.com/ticklish-mermaids

I just started a new blog devoted to my precious dog Daisy Delilah. I am about to breed her with Moses, my English Cream and I thought it would be fun to document and share our journey. Please check it out...she needs followers!

I have really missed everyone! Thanks for all the sweet emails!
