Struttin' His Stuff-Rooster

 Close up

Oil on 7x5 canvas panel.

This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Maureen did a great job of hosting this week and provided a bunch of terrific photos! She always does.

I came across this quote by John Singer Sargent: "No small dabs of colour - you want plenty of paint to paint with."
I have been guilty of being stingy with paint...so this time my mounds of color were a little more generous. But most of the areas around the bird were done with thin paint for contrast.

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting!
