"Hahn im Garten" by Brian K. Raynor

I painted "Hahn im Garten" several years ago. It is small. It hung in On Common Grounds (Concord, NC) for a while. Sold it to the same guy who bought "A Rooster" or to the guy who bought "Sage Rooster". I can't remember the details,... except that it was at one of the Rockabilly BBQ's (Charlotte, NC). I was trying to teach myself to speak German around that time. I just found the image today on another website and thought I'd POST IT for posterities sake.

Here is a cocky little rooster. Painted a few years ago. Sold 2 years ago at the Rockabilly BBQ. I think some guy named Darryll bought it.

"Little Red Hen" by Brian K. Raynor

I painted this, "Little Red Hen" last month and then I received this email
and have copied it here for your reading pleasure or disdain:

The Little Red Hen

"Who will help me grow my wheat?" asked the little red hen.
"Not I," said the cow.
"Not I," said the duck.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Not I," said the goose.

"Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen, and so she did. She planted her crop, and the wheat grew very tall and ripened into golden grain.

"Who will help me reap my wheat?" asked the little red hen.
"Not I," said the duck..
"Out of my classification," said the pig.
"I'd lose my seniority," said the cow.
"I'd lose my unemployment compensation," said the goose.
"Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen, and so she did.

At last it came time to bake the bread. "Who will help me bake the bread?" asked the little red hen.

"That would be overtime for me," said the cow.
"I'd lose my welfare benefits," said the duck.
"I'm a dropout and never learned how," said the pig.
"If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination," said the goose.
"Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen.

She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see.
They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen said, "No, I shall eat all five loaves."

"Excess profits!" cried the cow. (Nancy Pelosi)
"Capitalist leech!" screamed the duck. (Barbara Boxer)
"I demand equal eating rights!" yelled the goose. (Jesse Jackson)
The pig just grunted in disdain. (Ted Kennedy)

And they all painted 'Unfair!' picket signs and marched around and around the little red hen, shouting obscenities.

Then the farmer (Obama) came. He said to the little red hen, "You must not be so greedy."
"But I earned the bread," said the little red hen.

"Exactly," said Barack the farmer. "That is what makes our free enterprise system so wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But under our modern government regulations, the productive workers must divide the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy and idle."

And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who smiled and clucked, "I am grateful, for now I truly understand."

But her neighbors became quite disappointed in her. She never again baked bread because she joined the 'free bread from the government party' and got her bread free. And all the Democrats smiled. 'Fairness' had been established.

Individual initiative had died, but nobody noticed; perhaps no one cared...so long as there was free bread that 'the rich' were paying for.

EPILOGUE
Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs.
Hillary got $8 million for hers.
That's $20 million for the memories from two people, who for eight years
repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember anything.

IS THIS A GREAT BARNYARD WE LIVE IN OR WHAT?

"A Rooster" by Brian K. Raynor

"A Rooster" is one of the most realistic paintings I've done so far. It used to hang in On Common Grounds (coffee house) until they closed. I remember some kooky, hippie chick asking me, "What were you thinking when you painted this?" I laughed to myself. I wasn't thinking in terms of synbolism or whatever her half baked brain was wondering, I was trying to make the feathers look like feathers!!! It's "A Rooster", not "The Soul of Modern Man"!!! Anyway I sold this one to Jason. He's the bass player in the band Aqualads. Surf Music.
