Folky Watercolour Portrait of a Girl with Chicken
$230.00
Lovely watercolour portrait, custome framed, signed lower right, depicting a girl holding a chicken close, sweet and intimate. The girl’s face is front and center, with wide blue eyes, softly arched brows, rosy cheeks, and small red lips. Her hair is painted in loose, mossy green washes that blur and bloom at the edges, giving it a dreamy, tender feeling.
Pressed against her is a fluffy chicken rendered in warm golden ochres and soft browns, with a bright red comb and pinkish-red accents around the head. The chicken’s form is suggested with fluid wet-on-wet color and a few darker strokes for feather texture rather than fine detail. Love the gentle and childlike warmth!
