"Chicken coop at Meadow Farm Museum"


8" x 10" oil on linen panel

This small, white-washed old chicken coop grabbed my attention at Meadow Farm Museum. Several Dominecker chickens and a trio of turkeys wandered over to the fence next to where I set up not long after I began to paint. They watched for a few minutes, made some rude noises, and wandered off again scratching through the tall grass in search of a snack. I took a few photos and later added the chickens in front of the coop.

Love the back story! I wish I had a shed with chickens like that in my backyard. This is such a serene painting.
