Well Cocky!!

I was a bit sad about not being able to help Charlie and Lucy(the two oldies I wanted to adopt), but the universe had other plans....
Meet Roo :D
She is an old lady of 12, but someone forgot to tell her and she thinks she is about 5 lol. A huge fluffy bundle of energy who is really helping me get out more. A little unsure about giving affection, but a fast learner so we are getting along fine.
Now back to some art...
I thought I was going to be at a loose end when Soul Food classes finished, but I have this large/thin pallet I wanted to paint on.
 I decide it would be the perfect project to try out all the new techniques I have learnt. I gave it a quick coat of black gesso...
 followed by many different layers of numminess...
 before picking out this cheeky chicken for my kitchen wall....
but I didn't like it!
Well that's what white gesso is for right?
 And then this cocky chap showed up :D
 Still many layers to go, but feeling much happier with him :D
(but not as pleased as he is with himself lol)

As to who Harriet will be going to live with, Hortense chose...

    If she wants to be a cougar, (older woman type) I have 10 year old Kanga who'd love to come play.
    Love your pallet art. Thanks for sharing the process with us. I enjoy seeing the progression.
