When I painted Chicken House Afternoon, I wanted the scene to feel slightly surreal — a view out of a window where the world doesn’t quite settle into a single register. The mass of bright flowers sits in deep shadow, almost too vivid against the darkness, while the distant roof of the chicken house feels both ordinary and strangely isolated. Above it, the broken blue‑and‑purple sky fractures into shifting pieces of color. The fragment of the window frame cuts through the composition, dividing the exterior from a contrasting still life inside: more flowers, a duck head nearby, objects that feel familiar but slightly out of place. I was exploring how interior and exterior can collide in a single glance, how a simple view can become layered, disjointed, and quietly charged.
Dimensions: 24×30
Medium: Oil on canvas
Framing: Custom‑framed by me to complement my specific painting aesthetic.
