Chick Lit 

"Chick Lit" is a humorous painting by Lucia Heffernan, featuring a chicken reading a book titled "The Missing Eggs" by Agatha Chickie. The chicken is seated in a wicker chair, adding to the whimsical and anthropomorphic nature of the piece. Heffernan's work often features animals engaging in human activities, prompting viewers to contemplate the boundaries between the human and animal worlds. This painting, with its playful depiction of a chicken enjoying a detective novel, is a prime example of her quirky style.
