Caution

An abandoned Spanish-style home, still whispering its stories

With brilliant plumage and sharp eyes, these two roosters stand their ground on a sturdy branch — each one sizing up the other, a quiet tension hanging in the air. Their feathers shimmer with fiery reds, deep blues, and soft whites, a striking contrast to their wary stances.

The Story Behind the Canvas

Growing up on a farm, I quickly learned to be cautious around the roosters. They could be mean, and I often watched them fight each other for dominance. Still, I couldn’t help but be fascinated by their beauty — the rich colors of their feathers and the proud way they carried themselves. Caution captures that delicate balance of admiration and respect — a reminder that even beauty can come with a sharp edge.
