Description
A rooster with vibrant red comb stands against a softly blended green background, its plumage featuring contrasting dark and light hues. The scene conveys a sense of calm and rustic simplicity.
Over his shoulder in the distance we can just baarely see the sun rising through the summer mists, which will soon burn off. It's going to be a busy day in the barnyard.
Interestingly, I've recently learned that roosters do much more than crow as the sun rises. His job is to keep watch for predators, both from the ground and above. If a hawk is nearby and tries to swoop in, a good rooster will go to the defense of his flock and scare the hawk away or even do battle. The rooster's job is also to locate the choicest morsels of food and alert his lady-friends to its location. He'll stand guard while their little heads are pecking away in the grass. He's also good at breaking up squabbles between the hens themselves, keeping peace in his little community.
Loosely based on my own photo and digitally hand painted in Corel Painter 2023 using the Wacom tablet and art pen stylus. No artificial intelligence programs used.
Fine art as well as product purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... your wall art will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."
