Hello hivers, an happy Thursday to you all! Today a pale Sun is shining between a lot of dark clouds and I really feel the need some sunny days. Later, in the afternoon, I will go to our cousin home to help the parents with their little twins (a couple of hours at week that give me a lot of positive vibes 😁), but waiting to go there I'm here to show you my recent (funny) painting. Since some days I have an old song in my mynd, a song (an italian song by Lucio Battisti and Mogol) that tell about an hen and it started saying "La gallina coccodè..." that in italian means "the hen cackle...". In the past I painted some different chickens and so I thought it was time to start my new small sketchbook painted one of them: ![DSCN9100.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/EoeGSV8QzsYZEW9HJbYvzkKQyMaisVRyreE6rktPPrBZVK9VCXi1qh8ZNiATz8sWdEU.JPG) It's my own illustrated version of a amrocks hen.It's not a common hen here in my area, but I watched some of them years ago in a farm of one of my friends who has different kinds of chickens. It's an oil colors painting on around 100 gsm paper of my new sketchbook and, like I use to do when I share a new artwork with you, I took some pics while I was painting it so you can see some steps of the process too: ![WhatsApp Image 2026-02-19 at 10.28.03 (2).jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/23tmL4wpHfhrLvFrEgiWtFZpiS356RAx9ShvirNHMo3YkLmfomPP7nzaS2BqzuCt8dSEG.jpeg) ![WhatsApp Image 2026-02-19 at 10.28.03 (1).jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/23vi42XR9wdB5Pjd4ryNAFW4CTJFzcNBPXdWyJ1sUBJ3qyXYD41qXaZJYqvs46vpgML96.jpeg) ![WhatsApp Image 2026-02-19 at 10.28.03.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/23tc18yMes3hXyijqq7bGmn93YyRiTxhjBnfnkshjM62Mu9huKKsqURp6TwqcU7BhKdCM.jpeg) ![DSCN9098.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/silviabeneforti/Ep1WveUi1MTRbV66ypvD1TxzZnGfBFABug62ztqZ1Ee9PGLrKAEPL8evy9Bir3U7TAL.JPG) I hope you like it!
