French Hen

French Hen Giclée fine art print of original ink and oil pastel painting. Authentic artwork by upcoming nostalgic artist Mads for Sun & Sea. Signed by artist.

Lovingly crafted from Mads Cornwall art studio located on the Old High Street in historic harbour town Falmouth with exterior painted in delicious sunshine yellow.

Inspired by summer vacations to the French, Italian and British countryside. French Hen is an ode to a balmy warm Mediterranean summer residing on a small french farm. Happy hens roam the herbaceous fields and olive trees bloom in abundance.

Why it's a Best Seller

Utterly chic and full of character, my sweet French Hen oil pastel painting is the first to launch in my new series of countryside drawings—celebrating the quiet luxury of simple, idyllic countryside living.

Painted in rustic rouge and setting plaster pink, with playful, whimsical lines, my French Hen art print captures the warmth and joy of a happy hen living at ease. The perfect addition to exquisite interiors styled with Farrow & Ball’s timeless hues and classic country-style homes.

Frames

I am no longer offering frames to purchase alongside art prints - sorry! I trialed offering, and shipping acrylic frames for our art prints through an external drop shipper but more frequently than not found issues with quality control and frames damaged easily or in transit.

I have decided to suspend our offering of frames for the time being and look to source high quality solid wood frames in the future - walnut is favourable. Stay tuned for then!

For now, I invite you to take a look at my favourite frames guide, linked here, for frames I recommend and available to shop and ship in the UK, Europe, America and ROW. I have tried to source frames to suit a variety of budgets, but usually with frames you truly get what you pay for - so do keep this in mind.

Sun and Sea Giclée Fine Art Prints are printed using traditional artisan French printing process giclée - the only internationally recognised fine art print process.

I am really proud to offer my artwork using this technique, as I think it’s utterly fab! 

Giclée print utilises 12 premium pigment inks, which spray individually onto the surface of fine art cotton archival paper. 

Giclée ink doesn't dye the paper like ‘normal’ printing, instead the sprayed pigment rests on the exterior for bold colours and a luxury feel.

Investing in art online can be challenging—you want to be sure of the paper’s quality, composition, and the vibrancy of the colours.

That’s why all my fine art prints are produced on Hahnemühle Cotton Paper, a gold standard in luxury archival printing.

Why Hahnemühle?

Crafted in Dassel, Germany, Hahnemühle’s fine art paper is made from premium sustainable cotton and certified by independent institutes to meet the highest archival standards. Naturally acid-free, Hahnemühle cotton enhances giclée ink, making colours exceptionally rich and vibrant—an eco-conscious fine art paper offering that is truly unrivalled.

For original paintings, drawings and mixed media works, I love experimenting with plywood, wood board, naturally dyed paper, and linen surfaces, each adding a unique texture and depth to my pieces.

Do you struggle to find large-scale artwork to complement your beautiful home?

I’m thrilled to share that in 2024, I expanded my collection to offer even more fine art print sizes.

My oversized prints and original paintings make a bold sunny statement, whether framed in pine, oak, walnut, displayed in luxury hotels, unique delis, stylish wine bars or thoughtfully curated boutique homes.
