I am not ready for this

This work has been accepted for the "Creative Greensboro’s Art on Downtown Kiosks" where it will periodically be displayed on the 11 Kiosks in downtown Greensboro North Carolina from February 02, 2023, to June 30, 2024!
This work was also displayed at the Shockboxx Intergalactic Open 2022 in Hermosa Beach California from January 15th through February 12th. It then was one of ten paintings that traveled to the Belgrade Biennale Art Salon & Athens Auction in June 2022! It was displayed at Academy 28 in Belgrade Serbia on June 8th 2022 and at Polytechnic 8 in Athen Greece on June 11th, 2022.
It is one well-traveled rooster!
The piece is on a plywood frame that has button-fly men's briefs stapled to it. The canvas is then primed with about a half a pint of primer paint. It takes at least a week to “cure” before I can start painting. I like to use a combination of acrylic, latex, and other water-based paint media.
My technique makes for rich under-painting and the articles of clothing add a unique backstory to the painting. If you look closely you will see the buttons from the "button-fly" and the elastic waistband. The more you look at the piece the more is revealed. This has been my method of abstract painting since the late 1980s.
It is called "I am not ready for this" because I am not a morning person.
