TC and Friends "Fun Times In Idaho"

TC and Friends 
"Fun Times In Idaho"
8x6, soft pastel


TC and her two friends arrived in Idaho a couple days ago.  As soon as they unpacked they were raring to go! They wanted to see the sights in and around Boise.  First on their list was hitting the slopes at the local ski hill, Bogus Basin.  Actually, it was Senor Azul who was most adamant about skiing. He crowed all the way to the top of the mountain.  TC was mildly amused and hen kept peering over the side of the chairlift, certain her chicks would meet an untimely demise.  They all returned to my art studio safe and sound and in one piece (well, ok...three pieces).

TC (aka the Traveling Chicken) is a small ceramic chicken that has traveled the globe since 2012.  She picked up a couple friends along the way and together they visit hosting artists in their studios.  Each artist agrees to create a painting of one or all of them and then pass them on to the next artist.  It was a fun day painting these three goof balls!

  1. What a super job on this piece! I enjoyed the fact that hen lost her boot and her look of trepidation for her chicks. - Well done Cindy!

    1. Thanks so much! Actually, hen is trying out snowboarding. A snowboarder will keep one foot free while on the chairlift so the board doesn't get in the way of the skier next to him/her. The boots are attached to the board...thus, the free chicken leg....lol.
