“Cock-A-Doodle-Do”, Mixed Media by Leada Wood, Texas Artist

Chickens hold a special place in my heart, especially white Leghorn chickens. Growing up my parents gave my brothers and I baby chickens at Easter. One year they gave us 30 chickens hoping they were hens so they would lay eggs. Only turns out we had 30 roosters and they were bound for Sunday dinners.  I made one of them my pet and he followed me everywhere. He would cross the road with me when I ran to the corner grocers. But he didn’t like my mom especially when she was hanging out clothes and would peck and spur her. I don’t think he lasted too long after that. I guess chickens will always bring a smile to my face and hope my painted versions bring a smile to yours.

Magic Rabbit, Watercolor by Leada Wood, Texas Artist

This was a fun painting to do as I am still playing in the paint and enjoying the vibrant colors. I  sprinkled a little magic to give interesting texture to the background. 

I think there was a song by Jefferson Airplane called white rabbit...for some reason this painting reminded me of that song. Also Reminded  me of the white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland. I always loved Lewis Carol's Alice in Wonderland and Disney's intreptation of it...Didn't you?

This painting was started in Joseph Fettings class in March in San Angelo. Mr. Fettings is an excellent instructor and the class atmosphere was exceptional! What a great group of ladies having fun painting...I didn't want the class to end.

My Mama had a white horse named Merry Legs so I decided to name this one in honor of her horse.
