Mr Peacock

Oil Study No 21 - Project 100

With a splash of teal, pthalo and ultramarine blues, this peacock shows his might by putting on a spectacular warning display. The tail feathers quiver and shake while he holds his territory warning those who get too close, unless of course there’s a female peafowl he is attracted to!

Thanks to my good friend Trudi for the lovely reference photo taken at Maggie Beers Farm at Nuriootpa in the Barossa Valley.
