This is Indie, a wild peacock who lived at our house in Italy for quite a few months. The individual blue feathers were exquisite! He had favourite perches for preening and the feathers would drop below and I would collect them and use them in collage paintings. I took a photograph of him and then I made this beautiful photo art portrait. He was quite a character. When he was hungry he would tap on our window to draw attention. He was on the search for a mate but only found cats at our house. He displayed to them, just in case, but of course to no avail. The kittens chased is tail and he was very gentle with them. Eventually, with no romance in sight he moved on elsewhere in his search for love.
Born in the South of England I now live half way up a mountain in Umbria, Italy. I work from my art studio looking out over fabulous views of the Italian countryside. I am so happy to share my artwork with you.
