Number 17 in a 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

"Japanese Bantam"
6" x 6"
oil on Raymar canvasboard
NFS

This is a painting of MY (1) rooster, Queenie.  He is a Banty Rooster, very comical and quite ditzy - but I suppose a lot of roosters are.  They have only two purposes, as I see it...to give morning and/or warning crows and to help with fertilization of the eggs (we collect each day's eggs so that isn't happening) - but we get a kick out of him just the same. 
He is way smaller than my large Sussex hen 
(painting of chick, a few days back is 'she'), 
and she puts up a fight 
every time he begins his 'love' dance. 
Don't tell him - but he's a follower, not a leader....

Queenie appears to have an identity problem. Ditzy? Maybe it is "his" name?
Anyway love the painting and love the name. Fun!

Thanks Julie! WE call him 'Ditz' sometimes.

(I've been really neglectful of this space. Yikes!)   This summer we planted TREES on our property - spent so much time caring for them,...
