Splash Orpington Hen and mouse Giclee print
Meet Splash, a striking Splash Orpington hen with a commanding yet gentle presence. She diligently oversees the pen, ensuring harmony among its inhabitants. Her velvety-soft feathers and affectionate nature make her a comforting presence—you can’t help but feel that everything is in good hands. Ever watchful, she keeps a keen eye on the visiting wildlife, from hedgehogs to small mice.
This piece was created using a standard watercolour pan set, complemented by watercolour pencils and a line wash ink effect on gummed paper. I particularly enjoyed rendering the brickwork of the wall, which adds texture and depth to the composition. The inclusion of the field mouse enhances the narrative, reinforcing the connection between Splash and the surrounding wildlife.
