Inspired by a rather unforgettable peacock named Burt, who was a regular visitor when I lived in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Peacocks were part of everyday life in our neighborhood, and Burt was particularly comfortable around our home. During mating season, he would often sit outside calling loudly to the ladies — usually making sure everyone else knew he was there too!
I wanted to capture that wonderful combination of elegance and personality in this painting. Rich turquoise, emerald, deep blue and gold flow through the plumage, while loose watercolor washes keep the background soft and allow the peacock to take center stage.
