All peacocks have lots of personality, even as they emerge from a painting. It was a lot of fun to paint Felix - a sheer joy comes with him. The camera does not quite pick up the colours or the gold on the feather "eyes".
There is something exhilarating about painting – the whole creative process, the learnings and the discoveries, and always – the challenges. I started painting in watercolour when the children were leaving home. A few years later, my artist mother suggested oils, and it has become a passion. I share my journey with this blog as I stretch myself with the exhuberant intention of painting daily.
