Edie is new today and I am in love with her. I remember this being a painting that started out well and then I left it for a while because I wasn't sure how to continue. When I came back to it, I suddenly had a very clear idea of what to do. When I first started doing these roosters, someone questioned (in a somewhat dismissive way) how long I could stay with the theme. I've done around 80 now, and though I go through periods of creative drought, I really feel you can continue on one theme forever if you want. Really, the whole point for me was to be making work and figuring out different ways of thinking about one subject and about painting, and I think I've been pretty successful with that.
ANYWAY,
I'm doing a contest right now (here on the etsy forums) for one of you lovely people to win a painting. I mentioned, a few entries ago, that I like to write a little bio or story for each rooster by looking at it and imagining a personality. I thought it would be fun to see what other people might imagine for some of these roosters. So, pick a rooster and submit your idea and at the end of the week I will give away a rooster to the person with my favorite entry. Wooooooooooooo.
For example, here is the info I included for Edie (above):
These are the things Edie likes to do: go to disco night at the club, play lazer tag, and wear those glow stick bracelets at Halloween.
I would love to read a bunch of entries for this!
