A Rooster With No Connection To Christmas

I know.  Roosters don't have very much to do with Thanksgiving, Advent, or Christmas. And the color scheme for this painting would have been more appropriate for a September or an October post.  But here it is anyway. A rooster with no connection to Christmas.

This painting is really a mix of things.  To build the texture I used crumpled newspaper, glossy magazines, dried leaves and paper-towels.

I used acrylic and spray paints

This rooster may have no connection to Christmas but, nevertheless, it is that time of the year.  And with Christmas comes The Salvation Army's red kettle fundraising.  You've seen them out there, the bell ringers in front of the grocery stores and shopping malls.  You've seen the red buckets.

Or maybe you haven't. But that's okay because, lucky you, you can donate to The Salvation Army of Fairmont, Minnesota (or to the Salvation Army unit near you) via this handy-dandy-online-kettle.  The money you donate will help us to meet the needs of the poorest in our community all through next year. Thank you.
