Gallus gallus domesticus Theropoda!
I still have a ton of work to do on the little girl and her basket. This piece is still a work in progress.
I spent the last week writing and researching for my other posts and didn't have much time to work on my art. Plus I was stuck on exactly where I wanted to take the scales. Scientist have found dinosaurs with feathers and scales, and I thought I would make the body of the Chickenosauras all scales and feather out the neck and tail.
However the part of the mind that doesn't use words was in full-out rebellion, so I was stuck. Yesterday I spent the day outlining and shading the body scales and feathers. Thinking to myself, "just sit down and do it." Which is how I usually push my way through creative blocks, finally today I had the brilliant thought, "Why not make feathered scales? I started feathering out the scales with Zinc white gouache mixed with my watercolors, and my non-verbal mind was happy!
Problem solved, I ran into my husband's "man-cave and told him my creative insight." My beloved husband said, "Yeah I could have told you that!" I need to talk to him more; he is fun to bounce frustrations and insights off of when I am researching my Dhamma articles. Now I am going to start using him for my idea board for my art projects.
We are going on 16 years of living together, and I am still getting to know the guy. I still love him as much as I did when I first met him, but even more in subtle ways one only gets to know when living with someone for a long time."
This coming week I am going to focus on finishing up this painting, and I have a ton of yard and garden work to do before the HOT Oklahoma summer hits us.
How birds evolved from dinosaurs.n the 1990s, an influx of new dinosaur fossils from China revealed a feathery surprise. Though many of these fossils lacked wings, they had a panoply of plumage, from fuzzy bristles to fully articulated quills. The discovery of these new intermediary species, which filled in the spotty fossil record, triggered a change in how paleontologists conceived of the dinosaur-to-bird transition. Feathers once thought unique to birds, must have evolved in dinosaurs long before birds developed. The dinosaur and the gravity paradox.

My dear friend, this artwork is amazing as always! With your bus life I know it's hard to draw a lot! But you are making remarkable artworks when you got free time!
Cheers~

I knew some dinosaurs have feathers but I didn't know the great big T-Rex sported feathers...that's amazing.
I get on discord once in a blue-moon, you probably sent the message to the right person, I don't get notices ...I will go check!

My husband is very supportive, it is hard to live with a creative personality like mine. I get very sensative when I paint and write...hahahaha
I am going to use a bad word, I grew up on a farm in Oregon everyone cursed, Buddhism has helped me calm that habit down but I still curse on occasion, you can call me a hillbilly, ...when I researching/writing or working on my art I can be a BITCH...HAHAHA <3

We are helping family right here in Oklahoma. Once the family dosen't need us we will move back to Oregon and start up our little hobby farm again. I can grow enough food gardening and selling the chickens I raise to feed us year round.
We are retired, so there is no need to farm for a living.
I grew up in a part of America that is on the West Coast, we have a lot of timber and farms. My family lived on a 45 acre hill farm located on the foothills of the Cascade Range...the main jobs were timber and farming......
The Lumber-jacks, the men who cut huge trees for a living could turn the air blue with their cursing...hahaha
Most of my community were hard working farmers, some of them were very polite while others had rough manners but all were good Christian people...
The town near my farm was small only 1,200 people back in the 1960s

That's amazing! 45acres of farm land is not a little,hope you still visiting the place? 1960s that's far back, the place would have developed now.
In my country here especially in western side of the country, we have problems of land ownership which really affect the level of production.
But still people are trying and thank God for the technology, tractors and other farm machinery have make agriculture more easier nowadays. I'm also into poultry.

I find your feathered scales to be really nice.
It makes the theropoda much more cohesive.
(although that could be just because you finished painting the scales)
I wasn't sure how you were going to go with the scales.
I figured i would sit here and watch you put highlights on each one (making them shiny)

I know! We hardly know anything about dinosaurs...it's all guess work, putting fragments together like a quilt...the story about earth millions of years ago is just a big guess by educated well trained scientist..hahaha

Working through a process, keeps the painting on track. I find being organized and developing discipline helps me finish my projects. Meditation has helped with developing discipline which can be applied to everything I do! But I had the ability to focus for long periods of time before meditation too...

lol how amazing, really great idea. I always imagined dinosaurs as being feathered like chickens and birds, because they look so much alike - apart from the size. With only skin, they always seem a bit naked to me.
The theme of the paintings is French, isn't it? With Gauloises, the hen and the balloon...
