Funny you should say, "reminiscient of some of the art from early last century"; because where I live, folks still live like they did in the 1800's. In fact, Mora is over 2000 years old as a settlement, (it has been described as the furthest you can be from the United States, and still live in the United States.Jon Conkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358191122319134959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25383069.post-1162387724017171582006-11-01T06:28:00.000-07:002006-11-01T06:28:00.000-07:00This is really nice-- I love these chickens.

I really like the colors in this piece, and will try to remember them for future paintings.Jon Conkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358191122319134959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25383069.post-1162231344391992652006-10-30T11:02:00.000-07:002006-10-30T11:02:00.000-07:00Thanks Mike!Thanks Mike!Jon Conkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358191122319134959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25383069.post-1162217786736837122006-10-30T07:16:00.000-07:002006-10-30T07:16:00.000-07:00Really like this one.

I painted this one because the skier was such a hit (snow scene). And Michael Beeman had done a rooster a while back and I liked the idea. <BR/>Thanks for your fine compliment!Jon Conkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358191122319134959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25383069.post-1162143482273800282006-10-29T10:38:00.000-07:002006-10-29T10:38:00.000-07:00Jon i love this painting. it reminds me of being ...Jon i love this painting. it reminds me of being in colorado when we had a couple of acres with chickens.
