6x8" oil on panel
While both my dogs are gone now, they both are present in this painting - I used a picture of Elijah as a reference, and my beloved Zeke inspired the title. He was a Great Dane mix and when the chickens would come up to eat mosquitoes off his fur (we lived in Montana, then) he would just get this look of indignant patience as if to ask why they couldn't leave him alone...
This is the last of the "there's a bird on my head" group for now - and I'm delighted to say that they just got accepted into the Small Wonders show at The Wooden Cow gallery, here in Albuquerque, along with a painting I'll post tomorrow.

Thanks, Paz - its my favorite too!
This would make an excellent children's story illustration.
I love the story about Zeke and the chickens too. I can imagine that look.
Congratulations!!! Wonderful news. And another great piece in the series -- made even better by the title.
Thanks Andrew - I'd love to see a children's story from this!
