oil on stretched canvas (50x70cms) |
The Peacock Garden at Warwick Castle (UK) has topiary peacocks and real peacocks too. The real peacocks weren't in the mood for posing when I visited the castle so I painted my version of a 'meeting' between a real peacock and it's bushy friend. I don't know what they would be saying to each other, what do you think?

What a great painting - I love the juxtoposition(sp?) between real & topary :)
Maybe Mr. Peacock is thinking of asking it out on a date ;)
Nice painting...I love the spots of color.
What a delightful idea for a painting! It's beautifully done... I love how you rendered the windows in back so well; they form a great backdrop to the garden and peacocks!
Cathy, this painting is absolutely delightful! I adore peacocks! I guess the real peacock is thinking he is more beautiful - he seems to stand proud, as if he had gained self esteem in comparing himself to the less colourful bushy friend! ;-)
