I painted this lovely white hen as part of a Daily PaintWorks challenge a while back and just realized I never actually submitted it! Well, here it is. I wish I could tell you something about this chicken, but I've never met her–just grabbed the photo and started painting. I do love painting chickens, particularly their faces–people will say that chickens don't actually have expressions, but I think you get quite a sense of a chicken's personality from their faces. This one seems to know that she's quite beautiful.
Actually, I would say that most chickens have quite a high opinion of themselves. It's one of the things I like about them.
You know the drill–
8 x 10 oil on 1/2 in thick board. Click here to bid. Go here to see more paintings.
There is a painter in Arlington VT who just paints chickens and roosters in a fashion very similarly to your style on this piece. Although still different. You should check him out!
I love this painting and I love this chicken.
Love this painting ! Real cool!
