Chicken Soup for the bowl

I’m just home from a hen weekend so I feel it’s appropriate to show you this painting next!

It was my second favourite so I had to sell her really. She now lives in someone elses kitchen, clutching a recipe for chicken soup. And yes, that is glitter glue around the basket. I just love glitter glue… really finishes a piece. Alot of toddlers will agree with me on that.

I felt a bit guilty painting this. It is one of my darker paintings. Did the poor hen really need to see the recipe?
When I’m painting or drawing I have the expression on my face that I want the character I’m drawing to have. So for this I had a confused hen face on and then a hungry gypsy girl face on.
