This week's prompt at Illustration Friday is "Egg", to coincide with Easter I suppose.
So I drew this chicken, just in case anybody thought Easter eggs really come from a bunny. I wanted to give credit where credit was due. But I must confess, it could very well be that my reference for this drawing was a rooster. I'm not very well versed on bird anatomy.
Much of our Easter traditions have origins with the Pagan holiday Beltaine, primarily a fertility festival. Eggs... Bunnies... Rather symbolic, yes.
Happy Easter weekend. On a somewhat related note, know how to make holy water?
Boil the hell out of it.

Certainly a rooster. Which is essential if you ever want the egg to turn into another chicken.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that official Farmboy confirmation! I had my suspicions. At least I knew about the second part of your comment!
DeleteWhen you said it was a chicken, I thought it was a chicken. Then when you thought it might be a rooster, I thought it might be a rooster. I'm not well versed on bird anatomy either. No matter what it is, you drew it well.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you! Cute joke! Mind if I use it?
I wanted a "pretty" chicken, and upon further review, I thought he was too pretty to be a chicken!
DeleteFeel free to use the joke, I certainly own no rights to holy water!
Beautiful illustration! Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteI ain't a farm boy but that's one sharp looking rooster. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteYep, he would be in for a big shock if he laid an egg!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous feathers! And hee hee, I'll be laughing all over again, next time I boil water! :o)
ReplyDeleteHe is proud and glorious!!
