The Problem with Chickens

Gunnella, Icelandic Artist & Illustrater

Calling Gunnella the illustrater of this adorable book is like saying the egg came before the chicken. Or is that the chicken before the egg? I can never decide. And that's just one problem with chickens. According to Bruce McMillan's story they are quite the characters, immitating the ladies to the point that they never get around to laying eggs. So, maybe the chicken did come first...I guess we could debate that all the day long, and many have.

In the case of this book, the chickens definitely came first. In fact, Bruce met Gunnella and discovered her paintings of chickens and fell in love with them. The paintings inspired the story. This is a must read for children and adults of all ages. It's light, funny and the paintings are beautiful.

Each of Gunnella's paintings tell a story of their own. We have 6 of Gunnella's paintings available in canvas giclee prints for very reasonable prices and can get originals, although they have to be posted from Iceland. The book retails at $16.00 and is available at the gallery. We will also mail it (postage on us), to introduce you to this fabulous Icelandic artist.
