Roaming Blue Rooster, Key West, 8"x 10", a rubbing, prismacolor on paper. This work was inspired by one of the many roosters roaming wild on the streets of one of my favorite places in the world, Key West, Florida. Last year I had read where they were going to be rounded up and no longer allowed to roam free. Evidently town officials feared the fear the of bird flu might cause visitors to stay away from the island... even though no cases had even occurred because of the roosters. Being fortunate enough to visit Key West again recently I was glad to see that the roosters were still out, and strutting in full form. This work is one of a limited series of five. I look forward to experimenting with more colors of this subject.
