HEADS OR TAILS?
an Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell


'Heads or Tails?'
Oil
6 x 6

  Last Fall when we were plein air painting on the Blue
Hound Farm, the chickens were constant companions.
They would hide under a huge hemlock bush for
awhile, then come out to scratch around for a
snack.  I liked the way these three were foraging by
the fence-line - there must have been some yummy
bugs there!

I like the sunlight in this as well as the composition.

I love the composition and the color contrasts between the beautiful greens and the rich red-browns.
