"Broody Chicken"
Nancy L Smith
Acrylic on Canvas & Mixed Media, 12" x 12"
$100
This colorful Broody Hen of Nancy L Smith's fits the definition I found of what it means to be a broody hen. Although turned away, she is keeping a keen eye on you -- "Don't even think of taking my eggs," she says. The colors intensify her point that she means what she says.
Taken from "My Pet Chicken" blog: Her warning means, "Stay back,
this nest is mine for hatching!" Actually, we find it charming when our
hens are broody--they are beautiful when they're angry! Once a day or
so your hen may emerge from her nest like a whirling dervish: all her
feathers will be ruffled out so she will look VERY BIG. She will hold
her wings out from her body to give herself even more apparent size.. . . .
Nancy probably knows all about this as she paints the chickens from what she sees in her own backyard!
