Sam's First Project

My fiend Jeff, you have seen his library.  He was impressed by some Sam's artwork, for example fish pictured hanging in photos of the shop.  He and his family owned a cabin in North Carolina, they called the roost/  And they had a silhouette of a rooster hanging outside the front door.  Needless to say, they needed a new one and " Hey Chris, could you..."  The only catch was he insisted Sam paint it.  And of course in the Francentric way it could not be a simple silhouette so we carved it.  

When it was time for Sam to paint it we went off to the local paint store and picked out colors - we were up to 8 when told her only 4.  She picked them.

We got back to the primed bird in the shop.  I opened the 4 cans, set out 4 brushes.  I went to quickly clean up a few items and prep.  Tops 5 minutes later when I returned she was done.   YES what you see here was painted by a 5 year-old in 5 minutes and it is perfect.  

It still hangs in NC at The Roost.
