Sarah’s Favorite Things, Episode 3

This is one of my original pieces of artwork by The Chicken Man – a local artist named Ernest Lee.  He paints a lot of chickens and people buy them because of the USC Gamecocks.  He also paints palmetto trees and other stuff, like crabs.  I also like crabs, which is why I bought this particular painting.  The fact that the board it was painted on is warped and won’t lay flat is just part of its folksy charm.

One of my palmetto tree paintings (not pictured, obviously) also has a flamingo painted on the back of it.  He wanted to charge me extra for that, but decided against it.  He will give you a better deal if you have cash.  Last time I bought something from him he asked me out, so maybe it’s not the fact that I have cash, but if I were you, I’d bring cash. Or me.
