I would find it very satisfying to re-create famous works of art with chickens. Unfortunately, I am not very good at it. Perhaps with some more practice. For example:
The Gleaners by Jean Francois Millet, 1857.
And, the Gleaners, my recreation:
Nope, not quite there yet. Maybe with some practice? Let’s try one more:
(translation: Luncheon on the Grass)
by Édouard Manet, 1862-1863.
And my version:
Ah well, another day. I’ll have to keep my eye out and
practice my chicken charming skills in order to improve. Just you wait.

As a museum art handler and art historian, I appreciate this vastly! I’ve actually handled the Millet before, many years ago when it travelled. There’s nothing like holding an object like that in your gloved hands. It’s mind blowing. Especially when you have to deframe a painting. Georgia O’Keeffe would often write in pencil all over the back of her canvases. It’s the most intimate experience to hold it like your reading a book!
I adore your adaptations here! Cute little hens…

I think art can be the best sort of connection to the past and those before us. Mostly not tangible; you are so lucky to work as you do!

Cute! What if you photo-shopped your chickens into similar backgrounds?

Good idea, I will have a try at that next time. I think grandma Moses and Andrew Wyeth are next.

Daphne, your chickens are striking. We were visiting this alpaca farm in NC that also had chickens. We loved the fact they called their rooster “Elvis.” The imagery of that name is boundless. BTG

If Elvis the rooster crooned rather than crowed, he’d surely be a keeper. Great name!
