acrylic and oil pastels on standard canvas

I absolutely love painting birds and making them majestic and wonderful and intriguing. This peacock is in fact a bald turkey aspiring to be a peacock. She is faking it til she becomes it. It's all about the visualisation and manifestation. She can become whoever and whatever she chooses. She has several mantras and affirmations discreetly tattooed on her wings which she proudly spreads. "I am silver, I am gold, I am here, I am now." See if you can read the others. In the end, she turned out to look quite divine with her pale garb against the spiritual blue. There is indeed something quite iconic about her. I hope she will bring peace and joy to your home if you choose to adopt her.
