Description
Prints Available! I’ve been around chickens all my life and I love them dearly. Despite that, most of our hens aren’t exactly named except for those with unique features or personalities. This Rhode Island Red hen isn’t named, but she’s recognized as the busy body. She’s a tall, lean hen with an upfront attitude. Although not aggressive, she’s the first hen to follow anyone around the chicken yard. She stays at your heels and vocalizes loudly, seeming possessive of the territory without any pecking. Being tall, she’s a quick runner and ends up taking the best treats from other, slower hens. We’ve recognized her amongst her similarly colored sisters by the tuft of down on her chest that always stands out. Her second tell is her demeanor – you can’t beat that uppity gaze of hers.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactI adore chickens, and no one does chicken portraiture as well Cara does!
I am immediately astonished by the amount of detail in the face, just tiny little strokes that make all the difference. There's so much depth in her haughty little eye, I just love it! There's an incredible amount of detail throughout the piece, but I just can't get over that face!
I get the impression that the painting is much larger than 8x10, maybe it's her bold personality--it just looks like a very grand piece.
I love your signature background style as well, it gives a good contrast in texture. I would almost think it's a little too close in color to the subject, but the brilliant pop of red on her face and crest makes it work.
This is a complete success in my eyes. No one captures the unique personalities of chickens like you do and you always have such a great story to go along with each <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="
