I am putting him on the Daily Paintworks Auction page starting at $35. That is a bargain. It would normally be $50. If you send me an e-mail before the bidding starts, you can buy him at $50 and I will take him out of the auction.
I like the way you can get a real glow to the feathers with pastel. Part of the reason is that pastels are almost pure pigment and are like little crystals so they reflect the light nicely if they haven't been smoothed out. On this painting I did blend the background, but the rooster is pure strokes of pastel. In real life he is not so blue.

Roosters are fun to paint - great color and texture.
Bag Blog, thanks. There was another one there, too, so I can paint another.
Great job, Jo! He looks like a proud rooster.
Johanne, guess he is proud to have been declared protected on the streets. Ha. Thank you.
Great rooster!
Joanna, kept thinking of my old rooster, Peeper. Only Rooster I know that would sit on your shoulder like a parrot. Heh.
