Contemporary Animal Portrait Oil Painting by Deborah DeSaix

Description

Chicks should be adorable because they’re baby animals, but they are actually adorable because they look like grumpy old men. … more Chicks should be adorable because they’re baby animals, but they are actually adorable because they look like grumpy old men.

I enjoyed painting this chick because it looks so much like it just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. And I love the contrast of the grumpiness with the cheery yellow feathers.

The pattern behind the chick is my own design. Living in Lisbon, I’m surrounded by buildings covered in colorful patterned tiles. I’m inspired by that, and I enjoy creating patterns.

This is a contemporary oil painting on a wood panel. It measures 8.75”W x 4”H. The wood panel is just under one half inch thick. It is signed on the back.

The painting is varnished and ready to hang, with a hanger on the back and 2 small rubber feet in the lower back corners. If you wish, you could also frame it. less
