Chick Chick Chick is a transparent watercolor on Fabriano 140 cold press paper. It originally had a little girl in the painting. I cropped her off, plunged in a dark background to bring the attention to the two chickens on the right that are having a conversation. I hung the painting up and looked at it for several months wondering if it was finished. One day while working in the garden I came across a rusted chunck of chicken wire. Immediately I had an idea for the background for Chick Chick Chick. I laid the piece of chicken wire on the dark background and then "lifted" the paint in between the wires to create the wonderful spots of light behind the chickens. DONE!
