Description
This colorful chicken (or rooster if you wish) is feasting on some :Indian" corn.It was done as part of a pair - the other painting is also in my Rooster Gallery - Rooster-Colorful Barnyard Boss.
The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a domesticated fowl, and a subspecies of the Red Junglefowl. It is one of the most common and widespread domestic animals. In 2003 the chicken population totaled more than 24 billion worldwide. There are more chickens than there are any other species of bird in the world. People raise chickens primarily as a source of food, for both their meat and their eggs.Chickens of Indian origin were first domesticated for the purpose of cockfighting in Asia, Africa, and Europe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken
The barnyard boss,rooster, cock or cockerel is considered by almost all cultures to be a symbol of illumination - believed to dispell evil spirits just as the sun chases away the darkness of the night. It is the 10th symbol of the Chinese zodiac. In dreams rooster is often considered a wake up call.
Roosting is the act of perching above the ground to sleep at night (done by both sexes). Roosters have a shrill call to warn of danger. They also perch in elevated areas during the day to keep a watchful eye on their hens and will attack any other rooster entering their territory. The name "rooster" is from the United States and is used throughout North America, Australia and New Zealand. The terms cock and cockerel - which denotes a young bird - are used in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
This would make a lovely addition to a kitchen,family room,den,study,a country inn or bed & breakfast,a country restaurant or pub.
