Peacock Walkin'
Oil on Linen, 10" x 20"
The reason this was so intense to paint was that I was in Love with the photograph,
and I didn't want to mess it up!
I painted the Grackle first to practice iridescence.
Now of course I plan to paint all things shiny. Maybe not oil spills.
Oyster shells? Who knows?
Ps. It's a tiny bit unfinished, but I'll worry about that later. He has these beautiful
drooping feathers from his tail, but the painting has to be dry first.
This will be in my show with Lavinia Wiggins at the Croton Free Library.
We're installing tomorrow. Opening: Sunday, May 6.
Baked goods & live music, drop by!
