Art: Hippaelectryon by Artist Heather Sims

This is my entry for Nibblefest theme of â€œ2 or more creatures mixed togetherâ€. I thought a lot about this theme. I knew I like to paint chickens and other farm animals. I found the Hippalectryon! A fantasy creature from Ancient Greece that is half horse and half rooster with yellow feathers. The front half is horse and the rear a rooster. This mythological creature dates back to 9th century BCE and is notably seen on vase paintings, some currency and a few literary works.

This is my version! Perfect for horse and chicken art lovers alike.. Heck.. you get 2 in 1! What more could you ask for?? Black horse combined with a copper maran rooster!

A joy to paint! Would make a great gift for an art and/or animal lover. Very unique!

Thank you for looking!
