Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

This work was inspired by a handmade metal rooster I bought years ago from a craft market. He has lived in different locations over the years and continues to live on now. Lurking in the backyard next to our rendered wall and tucked in under all sorts of plants he made me smile each day when I looked out the window (he's in a new location now). With gorgeous strong flashes of copper paint this guy cheekily peeks out of the artwork and will add warmth and colour to any space. Perfect for lovers of birds and nature. The colourings are very hard to capture on camera but the over arching colour base is warm, rustic into the warm sandstones. I have referred to the Dulux Yellows Colour Chart to help and the closest I can come to is "Bee Hall" and "Butter Ridge" as the predominant colours in the work, but it is mottled by stippling so there are untold warm colour combinations in the background. There are also ridges of texture to infer the welding in the the metal joins and the work is painted around the sides.
