Cock-A-Doodle-Doo

 

8 x 10 inches - oil on canvas board - There are so many chickens running around Hawaii that you wouldn't think anyone would go hungry. It was explained to me that how you cook one of these chickens is you get a big pot of water and put the chicken in with a rock. You boil for a day and a half and then throw away the chicken and eat the rock.
