Wake Up

Well this is the first painting that I've made since we've been on lockdown...  I don't know what it was about chickens but I found after I was sitting around long enough, I started to want to draw chickens and lots of them... It kind of culminated in this guy ... 

Chickens, in our culture are a symbol of fear... and the virus generated a lot of fear...the odd thing about that is... roosters are fearless... Especially Fighting Roosters...

 I sat with that for a while and came up with the idea that maybe maybe true courage comes from facing fear and chickens can be a symbol of fear but also a symbol of Courage one of those double sided coin type symbols... they're also very beautiful...  enjoy....
