CHICKEN PICASSO AT PETALUMA TOWN CLOCK
“My… would you just look at the time!”
CHICKEN PICASSO ON KENTUCKY ST IN PETALUMA
Even though he hates Kentucky Fried Chicken, he doesn’t let the name bother him.
CHICKEN PICASSO
Back in 2007 I painted up this goofy, freely conceived sketch for a couple of relatives. Just felt like doing something fast & fun. I grew up with chickens. I like chickens. I live in Petaluma. I painted this chicken.
Ignoring realism, lighting, perspective, and the rest — it turned out both eyes ended up on the same side of the head, as in portraits by Picasso. So I named him Chicken Picasso.

GODIVA VARIATION 4
The naked ride of Lady Godiva has ensnared imaginations for generations, my imagination included. I am offering on Etsy a series of prints of Lady Godiva’s provocative equitation, as seen from various viewpoints.
Variation 4 shows the lady taking a midnight ride, safe from prying eyes. She is attended only by moonflowers and night flying birds — who are totally indifferent to her rank and the opulence of her station, as well as the fact that she has no clothes on!
GODIVA VARIATION 2
The naked ride of Lady Godiva has ensnared imaginations for generations. My imagination included. I am offering on Etsy a series of prints of Lady Godiva’s provocative equitation, as seen from various viewpoints.
Variation 2 shows her eagerness to set off on her morning ride —an eagerness more than matched by the eagerness of her horse!
I originally painted this Horse, ridden by a hunter wearing riding pinks, on a 3’ x 5’ canvas. I had to redo the image digitally for printing, and other features.
GODIVA VARIATION 1
The naked ride of Lady Godiva has ensnared imaginations for generations. Mine included. I am offering on Etsy a series of prints of Lady Godiva’s provocative equitation, as seen from various viewpoints.
Variation 1 shows her riding out Into blooming nature, early on a spring morning in old England.
I painted this scene originally in automotive lacquer on the side of a car. I recently redid it digitally in order to offer prints.
