The smallest of all my chickens is Gertrude. She is super friendly and comfortable being held. I loved painting her backlit. It made for beautiful shadow colors...

About Me
- Kristen Reitz-Green
- Vashon Island, Washington
- I am an artist living on an island in the pacific Northwest. For the past year I having been painting exclusively in oils, mostly on board but also some canvas. For a few years prior to this, I painted furniture with acrylics in a style reminiscent of art from Oaxaca, Mexico. For many , many years before that, I was a professional french horn player. Life circumstances made me choose to put my instrument down permanently and this blog is evidence of my creative spirit coming out in different form. I love the practice of daily painting and after all the years in classical music, daily practice feels essential to art as much as it did to music.

She is beautiful, Kristin. Alas, I am reminded of Gertrude in Journey to the Center of the Earth. A favorite goose of mine. Glad your Gertrude has a good home!
