If you've been to my Facebook page, you'll know that I've been painting roosters. And when Kristin told us that orange was the color this week for her Summer of Color, I knew that would be a perfect color for some rooster art--
This was so much fun! I added some images of my older art--these houses--
and some of my painted papers
.....and I can't forget about the embellies! So....it was so much fun...that I went and did it again!!
I knew that my rooster needed a companion.
Now.....he's happy!Sadly, the Summer of Color is coming to an end....Hey Kristin...maybe you can have a Winter of Color--maybe huh??
And just as this is ending so is the story of the Finch family. Friday when I checked the nest, this is what I found--
Scott, the oldest had left the nest. My husband and I actually saw him fly out of it. And then yesterday morning-
All that was left was Jennifer and John...but I have a feeling when I check it today, they may be gone too. I like to think that they'll stay in touch with each other. And I have to mention that during all of these last few days, the babies' Father has been there watching over them--this is Love!!

Your work is absolutely beautiful! The detail that you included on the rooster makes him almost life-like. Brings back wonderful memories of having chickens at my farm.
The rooster pair are so much FUN! Love all the embellies and the cheeriness! The babies grew so fast....and now are leaving the nest....:( deja Vu.
These are absolutely fabulous...love them to bits in fact....all the images around them are awesome and the roosters themselves are do cute...xxx
I adore your Rooster - he's so colourful and arrogant!!! All the lovely details you include make this a wonderful piece of art Diane.
And the finches....all safely fledged...shame about the plants haha!

My favorite rooster yet! So whimsical!
Is that why he's kicking up his leg--because he found her? Love your happy rooster. And thanks for the final photos of the babies--bet you will see them hanging around in the trees near your house.
Wonderful! I totaly love how you incorporate old paintings with the new ones. One could never tell. :)
I loved keeping up with your finches. Its a bittersweet ending,but at least its a happy one. Love your rooster pair. Your rooster is adorable,especially how he's kicking up his foot.
Oh wow. Your rooster paintings are great Di. Love them.
Kyles :D
Замечательные петушки, просто загляденье :) Очень нравится ваше творчество )
Beautiful work. And beautiful baby birds. Did you know that the parents will now teach their babies what and how to eat? Yes, even after they leave the nest the parents will continue to watch over them. For a while....
oh i love your Rooster paintings!!
they just make me smile, and the colors are beautiful!
Wonderful, wonderful roosters and post about your feathered family!
very fun!
Your rooster art is wonderful! I would love to have something like that in my kitchen! Also, so fun to follow the story of the little birdies...loved seeing the photos. Will you do something with the nest, or should you leave it there...I never know. :-)
I am in love with your work!!! And your blog...I am trying to join artsee bloggers, but it is taking forever to load anything. So,I willtry it again later...looks like a great group to become a part of!

I always love your paintings and the rooster and hen are simply adorable. They will make great additions to your stock of items you'll be selling soon. I also am sorry to see the Summer of Color come to an end. It was fun to follow you through all these lovely colors.
And I'm totally impressed that all 5 birds made it. You can be proud grandparents of these babies.
Oooh, what a fitting ending to a beautiful Summer with your Finch family! I have loved seeing them so much that I am almost sad the babies left the nest . . . I keep asking Kendra to stop growing, but, but . . .
AND your roosters are just fabulous! I love that they are a couple and think that your details are perfect - love the bicycle on the bottom especially. Can't wait to see your "show and tell, " xo
Your pair of rooster paitings are brilliant and such fun. Love all the embellies you have added, it makes them perfect.
I absolutely love how creative you are. These rooster are fantastic. I just love them.
Oh wow your roosters are fabulous, such a brilliant style of working. I agree we need a Winter of Colour.........will miss seeing your Summer of colour pieces. x
Love the Finch Family
LOL - when I saw the picture at the top of the post the first thing popped into my head was "happy chicken"!
excellent painting and lovely photos of the finches..hoping they will be back next year for you
Diane, I love your happy -dancing rooster, makes me smile, and feel glad,looking at both your art pieces.

Hi Diane. I really love your roosters. Seems that roosters are the in thing right now. I've seen a lot of them here and there but yours is definitely tops. Excellent work, I am in love with them. Yes, all little birdies fly away, sooner or later. Very nice work Diane, thanks for sharing.
Love your orange....but then again I love all your art work....!!!
donna
ps....loved your bird story
Ooh Diane, the babies are flying the nest....
Will they be featuring in your artwork soon? I certainly hope so.
The chickens look just fab - especially their dancing legs!!
love these! truly beautiful :)
These just make me smile, what great pieces, I have a feeling people are going to love them.
Ah what sweet babies, grown enough to set out on their own. It's been fun seeing their progress through your camera
These are just beautiful! I love all the detail and the dots in the first one!
Oh I love your rooster Dianne, the colours are so fabulous and the rooster is so much fun. Love the daintiness of standing on its toes.

I always smile from ear to ear when I visit your blog because your work is so happy, bright, enthusiastic, and positive! You are amazing Diane!
Good morning Diane, such delightful roosters, I love their legs, men have legs like that sometimes. One would never say to a man, wow you have rooster legs.
I think you said that your chicken things sold very well, you won't have these long either so pretty and arfully arranged.
what wonderful roosters!
Love your rooster Diane!! your work is beautiful as always.
xoxo
Oh my! Love these panels! I really like how you embellish them.
I agree every rooster needs a partner. They are wonderful. Lovely to see your bird friends grow up and flee the nest. So much fun to watch.
These are so fun, I love all the details and I just love their legs for some reason--whimsical and colorful, they're really great!!! We just had some finches fly the nest, too..they grow SO fast!!

When I was a kid, my mom loved roosters as part of her decor. She had them all over the place. I hated them. Our neighbors raised chickens and they used to run after us. They petrified me. I guess you have to get "old" to come full circle and enjoy things that you thought you hated from days gone by. These are great and bring back wonderful memories.
Beautiful Diane~ Love your paintings as always~
Hope you are staying cool... :)
oh wow, best rooster I have ever seen!
Diane, I love rooster art. Your rooster is fabulous and I'm crazy for his companion too! The little birdie have flown the nest - so glad we got to spy on their little lives... Summer of Color is not over yet - grande finale is coming up.

These are wonderful! Roosters remind me of my childhood. My Mom collected them; I can see them all over the kitchen! Love your take on orange~
Oh, I just love your rooster-art! They are amazing, and with all those sweet details around them - the house, the bicycle - they are just perfect!
I like so much rooster the way you did it...it is absolutly perfect to have two of them...very very colorful and I would like to see it in person...
I am so happy for Bob...he looks so happy...
I love your rosters. I'm glad that your dog is doing better too.
Your work is so incredible. It is always such a treat to visit your blog. I'm always very inspired!
Diane, I just LOVE your work!!! :) It always makes me smile - and I love all the vivid colors you use. The little finches grew so fast! We found a nest in our yard - but we are not sure whether they be robins or wrens. I must have the hubby check on them tomorrow - if they are still there!
Hey, how did I miss this? Love your roosters!! I'm so glad you created two so the one didn't get lonely! And great names for the birdies, lol! I'm sure they'll stay in touch.

Oh my gosh...I have never seen roosters look better! Fabulous! I always love to see the yummy details and things you add to your creations. So cute!
