Scratching About in the Sun

This light and lively watercolour sketch captures the simple pleasures of hens foraging on a sunny day. Two plump chickens peck at the ground while the detailed head of a proud cockerel watches over them. Soft washes of warm ochre, russet, and cream bring the birds to life, while delicate pencil lines add character and movement. A charming piece for those who love the rustic beauty of farmyard scenes.
