The Builder

This is the builder of the chicken tractor. He was hard at work building for several years while we were in Ohio. Those chickens were spoiled, that is for sure. The other day, I came across this photo and was struck with the colors, light, shadow, and just plain goodness, so I just had to paint it. It is oils on a 20×24 stretched canvas. We are done with chickens, but we talk about how we enjoyed them when we had them. We even play with the idea of getting some here… Nah.


If you know somethin’ well, you can always paint it, but people would be better off buyin’ chickens. — Grandma Moses
