    Peahen head

    Some details of a new fabric sculpture I just finished. I’ve been really inspired by the peahen (the female peacock) lately. I really love how they only have a patch of teal on their necks that blends into the browns and greys of the rest of their bodies. Click here to see the full sculpture.

    Peahen watercolor painting experimentation

    It’s been while since I’ve done a full scale formal watercolor painting … I think I’m a bit rusty … painting is NOT like riding a bike! I’ve been so caught up in sculptures for the past few years I’ve let the painting fall to the side, but I was inspired last week to paint a peahen. I loved how their colors are more muted than the bold peacock, and how the teals in their feathers flow and transition into browns and greys. I’ll keep working on it and post when it lives up to standards.
