We have a number of chickens free ranging on our property, we let them out of the night cage early in the morning where they then stay inside a big netted enclosure for their own safety. We have many predators, gigantic lizards, hawks, foxes, snakes and wedge tail eagles. But at noon they are let out of that enclosure and they can roam freely until the sun starts to set, and they put themselves to bed. They are very tame and used to people walking in their path, and the hens lay delicious eggs. We give them treats, and supplement their diet with some home cooked meal especially for them. Because we have had them for so long, and the tit-bits we throw to them make them stay very close to our home. The original ones from more than 17 years ago had given us new offspring each year, The breeds are of different kind and they all get along very well, a real delight to observe them when we sit in front of the window having a hot drink. I have made a very limited number of these paintings, and this is the last one left.

All art by Jos Kivits

The feeling of holding something in your hands that is hundred of years old, like the pewter and the ceramic Japanese vase, gives me a feeling of agelessness. It vibrates through my entire body and to spend weeks painting something like this climaxes to an explosion in my imagination. A painting of this calibre is and always will be an eye catcher when people realise it has not been created with shortcuts and tricks, but genuinely by discipline and artistry without smoke and mirrors. It is a work I cannot get away from as it is in my soul to paint what every eye can see without the help of any kind of trickery or Painted in 2005 and several times perfected and varnished over the years. This very work has never been exhibited, although one similar depicting different objects was revealed in Jos’ 2018 exhibition.

The style and technique is considered ‘Classical European’ and first exposed to Australia by some well-known earlier artists like Hans Heysen, Arthur Streeton, & Besie Davidson.
