New Direction on MamaHen Folk Art Blog - Focus on Art

\"El Blanco On The Farm\" Framed with hardware cloth

I came across a really great Squidoo Lens today: blogging-for-artists

and I’m going to start a new direction for this blog - focusing just on my art. I’m keeping the pages of my chickens, the art links and ms links, but I’ll start a new blog on my chickens, but I will mention them here when they play a part in my artwork, which is often!

Today I painted on some tiles. As usual for me, the tiles were saved from the landfill. They were never used. Sometimes I just don’t understand why people think nothing of throwing away new things! Anyway, I painted a picture of my white D’uccle bantam rooster, Señor El Blanco de Pollo, another rooster painting I’m calling “Chicken Tracks”, and “Chicken Scratch”. Notice my artist pallet in the pic of my workspace, I find the plastic lunch trays from Walmart work great - lol.

My latest paintings on recycled tiles
