Bastrop Resident - Animal, Pastel

This Bastrop Resident rooster lives on Farm Street in Bastrop, Texas.  The chickens are protected and roam around near the railroad tracks.  This is the second time I have painted this rooster.  I just love the way the feathers glow when done in pastel.

In private collection, Bastrop, Texas.

I decided to make use of the tomatoes on the vine before they went bad. I always like painting red, so it was not a hard decision. I painted Salsa Fixins' a couple of days ago and thought, "Which do I like more:  painting tomatoes with a brush or pastels?" The jury is still out, no verdict. It seems I like which ever medium I am using at the moment. I hope you do, too.

Salsa Fixins' - Still Life, Pastel

I really like to paint with red.  These tomatoes called to me at the grocery store.  So, to a familiar theme for me, the makings for some salsa.  I'm not sure if I like painting red with pastels or a brush more.  Hmmmm.
