Chickens of the Throne 7 × 9 inches — Watercolour on Paper
This watercolour illustration transforms a simple farmyard moment into a light-hearted scene full of character and charm. At the heart of the painting, one confident hen stands proudly on top of a small manure pile — a humorous “throne” that elevates her above the rest. Below, the other chickens wander and forage, seemingly accepting her playful sense of authority.
Through soft brushwork and gentle tones, this piece celebrates the quiet humour found in rural life and the unique personalities of everyday animals. Moments like this remind us that even in the most ordinary settings, there is beauty, joy, and a touch of whimsy waiting to be noticed. The painting invites viewers to smile, slow down, and appreciate the simple, unexpected stories nature offers.
