WIP, acrylic on wood panel, 6×6 inches. 2015. By M.Salazar. All rights reserved.

I started this little guy the other day. The store where I work has some of the best deals on canvases and wood panels, so I try to stock up when I can. I have a bunch of small wood panels that I’m planning on painting tiny roosters on and just leaving the background unpainted. That might change, but for now I’m trying to avoid the country kitchen look. The larger pieces that I’m working on are a lot more stylized with floral backgrounds, so if I find that these don’t fit in with that series I might consider changing my plans. For now I’m enjoying these cute little paintings.
