How about night into day or a sunrise? No. Maybe an image of a rooster crowing up the sun? I found a rooster crowing online and made several screen captures as a painting guide. The night-to-day cycle made me want to work the piece into a circular format. I selected the inside of a small metal garbage can lid and painted the rooster on a cut-to-shape piece of pine, making it easy to trim and curve the edges as needed. I added a wire mesh to mount stars on, spray painting it to match the sunrise colors sprayed into the inner lid. To complete the piece, I developed an arc of letters spelling Cock-a-Doodle-Day (playing off Doodle-Doo) I enjoy using letters in most of my assemblages, a carry-over from my graphic design. Nothing seems complete without type.
