Cockey the Rooster!

Our club had a project to paint a bird, and I chose this bright cockey rooster who is standing among the beans in the garden.    I liked his cockiness, so gave him this name!  
He is painted on a 9" square porcelain tile, and I chipped off the circle around him to enclose him on the tile.    There is liquid bright gold on the circle, and the green around it was (first fire) all the colours of Cockey applied at random.    Then I painted a fairly heavy coat of  the green of the leaves all over the multi - colours.    If you look hard, you may see the multi - colours through the green!

Look below and you will see the first three fires of this tile.



The first, second and  third fire of Cocky, the rooster I painted a couple of weeks ago.
