Pioneering Chicken

8x6 oil on canvas

The traveling chicken and her entourage arrived safely in Fort Madison, IA on April 24th.  A photo op on the banks of the Mississippi was in order. It was too windy to get close to the water so a safe place on a flat rock worked well for their portrait.
Their arrival came just in time for spring flowers and all the pretty magnolias and tulips in bloom(they preferred the dandelions).

A tour of the old fort, or rather a tour of the old fort chicken coup, was a must do on any chicken’s bucket list. 
They found a nice place in the recess of the Old Fort that sheltered them from the wind. With a little Photo-shopping they got a nice photo to remind them of the great time they had on their historic visit. 


Thanks to Nan Johnson for keeping this going.

Chicky Pow-wow

I had the privilege of hosting The Traveling Chicken here in Indiana for a portrait sitting.  While Ms. Chicken was visiting, she and SeƱor Gallo spent time collaborating with some other notables.  I wonder what all the discussion was about?  Maybe they were expounding on the role of the chicken in an Easter tradition...

...or just maybe, they were joyfully sharing the real Good News.
 
Happy Easter!
