Oil on board
 
This oil painting by Cal Gaspard portrays a proud rooster, the ruler of the barn yard flock.  The bird stands confidently in profile, facing left, against a textured, grassy field illuminated with natural sunlight.. The rooster's plumage is rendered with rich, earthy tones; its neck and upper back shimmer with golden and coppery hues, transitioning to deeper reds and browns on its body. Its distinctive comb and wattles are a vibrant red, while its impressive tail feathers fan out in a lustrous blend of deep blues and greens. The brushstrokes are visible, adding to the painting's tactile quality and giving the impression of light catching on the rooster's iridescent feathers. 
The piece is beautifully, matted, framed, and ready to hang.
