I finally finished this little piece (10.5 x 13.5 inner 16 x 20 matted).
Last time you saw it, I said the only thing missing was a little creature. At the time, I had in mind that I would add a little hare, or perhaps a bunny; but the more I looked at it, the more I realized it needed something else.
Squirrels, I thought - or perhaps a lot of little insects...? And while I stitched my grasses I thought and thought about it, until I remembered...

...how delightfully charmed I was the first time I saw pictures of chickens in sweaters. And so of course I knew then that chickens it had to be.

There's a little cat hiding in the picture too; and he started out as a little bit of painted lutradur too.

ReplyDeleteOMGoodness, it's fantastic, Kit! Storytelling indeed! And I love the distant pale green trees in the background. That's a nice effect. Great piece!
ReplyDeleteDelightful!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo precious Kit! I LOVE it! This is your gift, as an artist - the ability to express lovely sweetness in your work… :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila - I've come to the realization that my narrative work is almost always from a child's point of view. I guess that's the "sweetness" you (and others) see in my work. :)
DeleteWell. that was a surprise. I was expecting a rabbit or a squirrel. You always surprise me with your "visions". I love this little piece and I especially like the nosy kitty hiding by the tree!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice piece of whimsey to add the 'dressed' chickens - I love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorites you've done so far, Kit!
