Another painting with a slightly disparate edge. I often start with an idea, like simply.. "A man holding a Chicken!' Then I start to sketch my idea on the canvas. This painting took me a lot longer than usual, I couldn't decide who was holding the chicken. Eventually I drew from my own experiences of working in the Caribbean, this painting asserted itself under my brush, all I knew was that I wanted the chap to be an older character with a story to tell.

Inspired by Andrew Hunt's trips to the Caribbean, 'Big Chicken' is a gritty, photo-realistic painting with a slightly disparate edge. With a somewhat Southern-American aura - the focal character looks as though he has many a story to tell.
