"Book-book and Larry"
This is departure from my first love, my signature nature art.
I don't like to paint from photographs directly but there was something really appealing about the patient demeanour of Larry as he turned to see his rider, Book-book the family chook. Equine intelligence. This gave me the leg-up to bypass the constraints drummed into us at art school all those years ago of "Never-ever copy". In those Olden Days it was absolutely forbidden to copy from a photograph! However I could see this would be total f-u-n.
Do you like it? Sadly you can't have it, because it is sold, sold even before it was framed!
