When the Chickens Come Running

Acrylic on wood.

20x20x1"

Bursting with movement, energy, and vivid color, When the Chickens Come Running is a dynamic abstract painting that captures the playful chaos of farm life. Inspired by the flurry of motion when chickens dart toward a scattering of feed, this expressive composition layers bold brushstrokes and rich hues of turquoise, navy, ochre, and crimson.

The painting blends abstraction with suggestion—feathered forms, fluttering shapes, and layered textures evoke a whimsical rural scene without depicting it literally. With a palette rooted in nature and gesture, this artwork brings a sense of spontaneity and joy to any space.
