Tails Of Two Peacocks

I painted these fellows at the Museum of Appalachia during Knoxville's Artists on Location juried plein air competition. I quickly established the setting -- where they first faced off in front of me before wandering off.  A big benefit to trying to capture two of them plein air was there were at least six peacocks to follow around with my easel ... increasing my odds of finding at least one in some semblance of the same pose.  It took some acrobatics and problem solving but it was totally worth it. So much fun!

I also found out that peacocks make some horrible sounds.  A discovery.

Tails of Two Peacocks - framed.  Price includes the frame -- as do the rest of my paintings unless otherwise noted.

See all my models? For some reason they decided to walk the "runway" around me.
