I have been asked to do a picture of a Russian toy chicken, so I've decided to add a juggling bear and flowers as well. I arranged the objects in order to keep the chicken as the focal point and I am happy with the way it is turning out so far.

A flower arrangement that is supposed to look like a skull with a garland.

I found a box filled with old drawings... I remember doing this one either in kindergarten or first grade. The style seems like a fusion of Wassily Kandinsky and Jackson Pollock.

I kind of look like a fish.

quick study

Tried to convey the interesting texture that the cloth had.

Finished

Still need to figure out how to pull the whole picture together, but I suppose that adding more definition to the focal point will help.

Just a few doodles from my sketchbook of things I was thinking about painting.
