Ameraucana Chicken by Peter Tigler — Original Painting

Ameraucana Chicken

A detailed, character-driven portrait of a chicken set against raw plywood. In Ameraucana Chicken, Peter Tigler leans into contrast—carefully painted feathers, sharp color shifts, and a vivid red comb sit against the natural wood grain, scuffs, and markings left visible on the surface.

The bird feels alert and grounded, captured mid-step with a sense of everyday movement. The exposed plywood adds warmth and texture, giving the piece a distinctly American, workbench quality—part barnyard realism, part studio process left in plain view.

Direct and unpolished, this painting highlights Tigler’s ability to find presence in ordinary subjects while letting the material speak just as loudly as the image.
