Ear Ye, Ear Ye!

"Ear Ye, Ear Ye"
6" x 6"
Oil on hardboard 
It may have seemed like an idle threat when I wrote last night that I'd like to paint ears for my next series, but I followed up on it. I really enjoyed painting this one, and I have a rooster to thank for it.  

If I'm going to call it a series, I get to find another ear or two to paint. Not a problem, right? Well, let's see how many willing volunteers I find. It's a little out of the norm, I'd say.  Friends, Followers, Countrymen, send me your ears... left ones if possible.

Imminent, in deed!  Rosa showed up for her pregnancy-portrait sitting with little more than a shawl, so I swaddled her vessel, as she called it, and pulled the wings of the remaining fabric behind her.  This pose was one of my favorites, but she opted for a more colorful one.

Since Rosa's sitting I've wanted to paint this pose.  I tried a simple study to see how it might look, and I'm not disappointed.  I'll post a couple more Rosa paintings over the next few days, but one was already posted, so I put her in the first row on the front page of My Gallery.  Check out Rosa in my silk kimono.  

Thank you for visiting today.
