Hens
Anyone who has owned or watched hens will recognise the way they have different characters. Alert heads often pop up whilst others nestle down contentedly.
I no longer own hens but my neighbour has lots and they wander in and out of my garden, often without me knowing. They regularly leave their calling cards - a trail of pretty fluffy feathers!
I was mystified as to which sort of creature was gnawing huge holes in the top of my cabbages in my vegetable garden. Then one day, from my painting studio, I saw this hungry hen dashing purposefully past. I turned the corner just in time to see this ‘masked invader’ pecking at some speed into my cabbage! Mystery solved!
Hens are very comical, as long as you keep a sense of humour!
I went back to my studio and painted ‘The Masked Invader’ in acrylics on a piece of mdf board. I painted it fast and scratchy to try to get the movement and character of the scene I had just witnessed. I have painted hens ever since!
Acrylic on Canvas Unframed size: 50cm x 50cm Framed size: 52.5x52.5cm “'Timed Lavender' is a comical play on the unreliable subjectivity of memory, with two vertical lines creating a glitch. The lavender appears as a constant, through which the chickens are passing. This artwork captures British summertime, though unpredictable, in all its glory. One tentatively following behind, these two chickens are placed at the heart of this composition. Their vibrant surroundings frame this escapade."
