“Chicken Portraits,” an exhibit of wood-burned rustic cedar shingles and watercolor by Matt Pedersen, is on display at the BPA Gallery in February.

Stop by the BPA Gallery for the First Friday Art Walk from 5 to 7 p.m. Feb. 6 for a special artist reception and a fun evening of art, food and friends.

Weathered cedar shingles are the backdrop for Pedersen’s finely detailed chicken portraits.

The use of watercolor and pyrography to etch the mood and emotion expressed by a magnificent and peculiar chicken captures an aspect of rural farming as well as the flourishing urban farming movement.
