Collection: The Nameless

Acrylics on Gessobord - 12" x 12" - by Kimberly English ©

In June of 2017, my sister-in-law, Windi, flew in from Indiana with my niece, Brooklin, to stay with us for a visit. During that week, we went to my friend Kathy's house to see and feed the farm animals. The kids had a great time feeding the chickens bread and watching them run around the yard. It was a very hot, muggy summer day. After we finished feeding the chickens, some retreated to the shade under Kathy's Ford tractor. I took a picture and I knew I needed to paint it.
 
While I was working on the painting I thought about chickens and their role on the farm. They provide eggs and meat for our consumption, eat bugs throughout the yard, and provide fertilization for gardening. I understand how important they are and thought how ironically most times in large flocks chickens are not named. I wanted to title the painting "The Nameless" to bring that paradox to the viewers’ attention for consideration.
