Please Welcome the New Administrator

 I was happy to be the new administrator after Nan stepped down. However, as soon as I took over, events started to happen.....exhibitions, gallery representation both online and real. I am also off to France for a short painting holiday with a friend.
Luckily Pandalana Williams offered to help and I am so grateful .She has been the new administrator for the last few weeks, I just have not had time to update you all.

She has been very patient and has gotten things rolling with plenty of likes on the Facebook page, and all the other tasks that administrators do.

I will definitely be watching TC's progress across the world. Good luck to all those artists on the list and many happy hours of painting to you all.

The Traveling Chicken visits the Mall, London

I am happy I took on this challenge! You never know what comes out of new challenges!

I loved the idea when informed by Azra, so why not!

Since I really love painting outdoors, and I love urban landscapes, I decided to take the chicken on one of my plein air trips.

I decided to take it to the Mall in London!

The Traveling Chicken, In Glorious Morning Light at the Mall. 18" x 12", Oil on board-Adebanji Alade.

I put it right on top of one of those statue platforms and before it could escape, I added some super glue to keep it still.

While I put it there, a lovely light shone in perfect harmony form the sky, welcoming the Chicken in glorious morning light!

I couldn't wait, a painted as fast as a pig eats and captured the fleeting light in such a hazy mood!

I less than an hour I managed to catch the light and the chicken was safely tucked back in the box, ready to be sent to the next destination.

Sorry for staying a bit too long with it!

I just loved it!

PS-I'm only kidding.....this was all painted indoors

Hoots Man, the Travelling Chickens are in Bonnie Scotland

Ive waited a long time for my turn to have the chickens and then find I am up to my ears with our towns four day open studio event, followed by teaching a one day life drawing workshop,

My studio is now operational and finally got my painting done!

This is an exciting time in Scotland, we have just hosted the Commonwealth Games! It is also a time of division, as we prepare to vote in the referendum for Independance.

It is a huge deal for each one of us, here in Scotland, for or against....I am still deciding.......I find political speak difficult to understand....I'm hoping someone will speak up in a language I can understand!

Here, the chickens are having a heated discussion "yes" says little yellow chicken, "no" announces skinny blue bird.....see, they are just as confused as me!!!!

Actually the blue bird, I have just found out is a cockerel or rooster, as I went to pack him away, I found his "comb" in the bubble wrap!

So we have before and after shots! I quite liked the shaved look!
