Description

A riled up rooster defends his territory, noisily. There is nothing quite like painting this bizarre bird, to make you realize how truly weird-looking they are, and also so expressive. In any case, in this colorful version of the classic cockerel, I was focused on achieving the texture of the feathers, and the sense of constant motion, as well as the attitude of the barnyard bird.

According to:
http://www.whats-your-sign.com/symbol-meanings-of-the-rooster.html
Symbol meanings of the Rooster (cock or cockerel) are as vibrant and diverse as the rooster's plumage.
Rooster symbol meanings are all about fanning out with brilliance, and showing the world your shimmering facets of personality.
Most cultures embrace the Rooster as a solar symbol, and a sign of illumination, with the exception of the Nordic and Celtic cultures. Celtic and Norse lore describe the Rooster as a creature of the Underworld. Specifically, the cock served as a messenger of the Underworld, screeching out warnings in danger, and calling out for the souls of the fallen in battle.
*****
In dreams, the Rooster is considered a time-keeper and is a sign of time passing in our lives. Hearing a Rooster's voice in our dreams may indicate we need a wake-up call, and need to pay attention to some circumstances in our lives. Seeing a brilliantly plumed Rooster in our dreams indicates it is time to let others discover our true selves, and strut our stuff (show our talents) to others.

Riled Up is currently priced and available as framed and matted, with a wine colored mat an espresso colored wood frame. For photos of the original painting as framed, contact the artist directly. Or better yet, go see it in person at the incomparable St. Mark's Coffee House in Denver, Colorado, where it will be on display along with many of my other works, for the months of March and April 2014.
