A Story about Chickens!

How did we come up with our painting of the three colourful chickens I hear you ask?

In June 2024 we hosted an event with a well-known fast food organisation, specialising in a particular type of fried chicken!

They contacted us in early 2024 to discuss a commission for a large team event. As part of the commission process, we create lots of sketches which are then developed into a final painting. For this one, the brief was to create a colourful chicken, standing proud.

In the end, they went with a different style we proposed (see below). Everyone had a great time and each painting was truly unique!

The right chicken for the job.

So many amazing paintings.

One of the images John created (see below), which was not taken forward, became the basis of our colourful chickens painting. We realised this lone chicken needed some friends, and they were joined by two more clucky hens!

V2. A stronger composition with 3 chickens.

These funny chickens, popping their heads up, googly eyes looking into the camera, is now a firm favourite. This painting creates a lot of laughter and joy amongst our community of artists.

John is our lead artist, and creates nearly all of our art works. You can see John’s style reflected throughout our gallery of paintings for The Paint Club, and this style has become a distinct part of our brand. We are proud of the paintings we produce and of the work that has gone into them. Our images are not only popular amongst The Paint Club community, as we have seen others taking inspiration from our colourful chickens…!

This silly chicken trio makes us chuckle every time we see them, so what better way to keep us smiling while we work than having a giant version on the wall of our studio.
