I needed a change from painting portraits and this little guy was calling me. I'm not sure but I believe the photo was taken in West Virginia. He was standing near another rooster equally as beautiful...I might paint him another time.
Hey he deserves getting his portrait painted and you did a wonderful job. Love all the colors in his feathers and super work on the grass too. Fun and well done.
Hilda, this is fantastic! I just love the crop you made in the composition design! Part of him is out of the painting, and I love that. It offers a bit of mystery, don't you think? It certainly focuses the attention right on what he's doing. Bravo!!
Of course I love all your portraits Hilda! This one is special! Your wonderful skill is obvious and your knack for making each piece a joy is fantastic! Bravo buddy! Happy Memorial Day! Michael
Mr Rooster looks pretty busy. He's just beautiful Hilda. Like you , I'm resting a little after many portraits, I find it very demanding. Have a lovely week, hugs!
Oh ! Oh ! qu'il est beau ce coq ! J'aime beaucoup le travail de son plumage et aussi surtout l'attitude parfaite de son maintien. La capture est très intéressante et lui alloue beaucoup de charme.
Hello Hilda! A Rooster in a typical slow walking gate, or scratching on the ground, but not an ordinary Rooster, no, a Rooster painted by you could never be ordinary.:) Good job Hilda, I like him a lot. Well done, I would like to see his friend some time.:))
My name is Hilda Muxo Klinger. My passion for art came early.I have always said that I was born with a pencil in one hand and a box of crayons in the other.I am a Bronx born New Yorker who can remember sitting at the kitchen table copying faces that appeared in the newspapers and magazines as a girl.
I am married 53 years and have two daughters and five amazing grandchildren.While I worked and raised my family in East Rockaway, I used art as a form of relaxation, painting here and there. I dabbled with several artistic mediums through the years—everything from pencil to charcoal to oil and it was only after I joined The Parish Social Ministry Art Club in East Rockaway in 2006 that I realized my true passion of pastels.
I studied under Dan Slapo and I don't think I've ever enjoyed a class more than I did with him. He taught me many different techniques in painting a portrait. Working with a live model was so different for me and I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to work with this Master of Pastels...He encouraged me to join the Pastel Society and I am now an Associate Member . I am thrilled to say that I have displayed my paintings in Rockville Center Village Art Club and have received several ribbons for my work. Thank you for visiting my blog. I will continue to add my painting in the future and hope you enjoy them as I have enjoyed painting them.
Hi Hilda, He's fabulous and I love the action of the feet.
