Clucking_Mad Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 On a previous post I showed you pictures of my 3 girls Phyllis, Vera and Ethel. I thought you all might like to see a painting that we have of our girls. We went to a pub near us for Sunday lunch and in this pub they display lots of various paintings by the same artist which you can purchase. I saw one of a rooster which was lovely and said to my OH it would be great if we could have one of our girls. We contacted the artist by email and explained what our girls looked like and she said give her a couple of weeks and it will be done. The artist is not far from us so once she had finished the painting we went to see it and she did explain if we didn't like it we didn't have to buy it but I fell in love with it and it is just like our girls.

Clucking_Mad Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 I think Debbie is good as we never gave her a picture we just said that we have 3 hens one brown, one black and one a grey/blue colour and this was the painting she had done for us and its perfect as it is just like our girls and especially the size order as Phyllis is the smallest but she is the boss then Vera is a bit larger and 2nd in command and Ethel towers over the other two but is bottom of the pecking order but is very shy but once you start to give her a cuddle she starts to talk and relax and gets very comfy and even goes to sleep sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 That's such fun! I love the expression on their faces. As you say it really does show the pecking order with the tall bluebell Ethel, looking anxiously at the little, slightly peevish, Phyllis.

Lewis Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 If people were interested I can highly recommend Nic Vickery - Animal Artist She keeps poultry and had a stand at the National Poultry Show, I know there are a couple of people on here who have already had work commissioned too!

Chubby Chook you have got my girls down to a T Iwescott - Thank you for sharing your Artist her working is amazing I just love your girls portrait, have showed her website to OH and hinted that three of my silkies would look great, worth a try. I love it! Doubt OH would go for it though I am very lucky my OH is as crazy about the girls as I am and he also fell in love with the painting we have even been tempted to ask Debbie if she could paint our cats and chinchilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
