Deep and whimsical. Peacocks featured heavily in Roman decor as a symbol of immortality. They were usually depicted stylized in mozaics rather than painted realistically. For this painting I chose to stay close to the Roman sources for inspiration rather than looking to actual peacocks for visual information. The result is a dreamy work of art that blends the freedom of brushwork with the restraint of mosaic design.

This 16”x20” acrylic creation is painted on archival canvas and framed in a natural wood floater frame to give it just the right amount of emphasis without overwhelming or overshadowing the piece’s simple beauty.
