A delightful and unabashedly joyous portrayal of a peacock. Its a portrait of a mood of contentment and self belief. A modest recognition of the who you are. Its loosely based on a renaissance style of portraiture, with a little twist because the sitter is so self aware, even a little smug. The painting, like the peacock says "look at me, im so beautiful".
The style of the piece is both abstract and figurative using a combination of media including acrylic,ink and oil paint to provide a powerful decorative aspect. Gold enamel adds a royal touch and a splash of bling, to enhance the vanity of the peacocks attitude.
