I am inspired by my back yard chickens - so cute and funny and fun. Loveable pets. I executed this painting in a traditional oriental style on rice paper with Chinese inks. I'm not at all oriental - I just admire that style of painting. I do raise chickens though.
About the Artist
Elizabeth Sullivan
I love to paint aliveness – the graceful and powerful motion of running horses, the stealth of a cat, the curious pecking of chickens trying to decide if that speck on the ground is edible. I paint in watercolors, because I enjoy the natural flowyness of that medium. Watercolors should flow. The paint contributes to the motion in the painting. I get inspiration from many things around me, but the styles of art that have most influenced me are primitive cave and rock paintings and a style of oriental painting executed quickly, expressing the subject with few lines. I tried many things to get my paper to look like the walls of a cave, but after I achieved it, I got carried away with color. I've been an artist most of my 74 years. I do many kinds of art, but specialize in watercolors and murals. I’ve painted 17 murals commissioned by cities even while disabled, plus many more for private patrons. www.wildspiritartworks.com, YouTube channel: Wild Spirit Artworks
