Chicken Euphoria
Watercolour and coloured inks on paper, 29.5 × 29.5 inches (square).
Created in a moment of genuine artistic uplift, Chicken Euphoria carries the energy of celebration and momentum. After one of my works was selected for the Royal Watercolour Society Open 2026, I felt deeply inspired and encouraged by the warm response from collectors.
This larger square composition grew from that emotional high. The surface is alive with a vibrant gathering of chickens, each one distinct in form, colour, weight, and personality. Their expressive presence creates a dynamic visual rhythm, inviting the viewer into a lively, almost theatrical barnyard scene. I worked with watercolour and coloured inks, enhanced with salt effects that add texture, movement, and subtle unpredictability to the surface. The result is both delicate and energetic.
Chickens, for me, are small yet captivating creatures, full of natural grace, posture, and quiet charm. In this piece, their collective presence becomes a celebration of vitality and character. This work is intended to transmit that same sense of uplift and spark to the viewer — a moment of joy, colour, and living energy
