This portrait of Henry, a rooster raised by me from a chick and was tragically lost to a coyote attack, reflects the deep bond between me and my pet.  The piece combines the styles of post-impressionism and pre-impressionism, capturing Henry's spirit through vivid colors in the background, symbolizing his enduring presence.  The textured brush strokes and emotional hues convey both the beauty of Henry's life and the sorrow of his loss.  It was my hope to memorialize my beloved pet, creating a tribute to the memory and connection that goes beyond his physical absence.
