King of the (new) Roost

“I did not become a vegetarian for my health, I did it for the health of the chickens.”

- Isaac Bashevis Singer

"King of the Roost" watercolour on Visual 140gsm - Maree©
Size : 12" x 8.5" unframed

'Kingston', the above rooster, was saved from the dinner pot when I bought him, together with a couple of his hens, from Solly, who was going to slaughter him for supper. Hopefully, with the money I paid him, he will now go buy something else for supper!

The above quote made me think... shall I become a vegetarian...?

The Black Pirate - SOLD

"If I didn't start painting, I would have raised chickens."

- Grandma Moses

"The Black pirate" - watercolour on Moleskine 200gsm - Maree©
Size : 12" x 8" unframed - SOLD

This guy might be the reason for one of Solly's other roosters hanging out with only one hen and not associating with the rest of the crowd - as this chap struts past my gate, giving me the beady eye, and not condescending to enter, he seems pretty sure that no-one in the yard is going to challenge his authority - ever!

Size : 11.5" x 8" - unframed - SOLD

This little chap was giving me the beady eye while I was sketching him, waiting for me to disappear so he could feed his young - aren't people just a nuisance?

The Fledgling

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.

Pablo Picasso

"The Fledgling" pencil sketch and watercolour on Visual 140gsm - Maree©
Size : 11.5" x 8" - unframed

My favourite subject to paint - birds. Their expressions say more than a thousand words, and body posture warns of the next move - relaxing, taking flight, being vigilant or not feeling so well. Whenever I see a bird sitting puffed up (a sure sign of illness), I'm immediately relieved if it's feathers return to normal upon my approach.

This baby seems to be waiting patiently for breakfast to be served!
