young peacock miniature painting

Young Peacock © Tracy Hall 2011
4" x 1.75" watercolour on board

I managed to finish up this new miniature painting of a young peacock over the weekend - a beautiful bird that I photographed when visiting friends last year. I'm having fun playing with this long format for the miniatures at the moment.

On the big easel just now I am finishing up a new painting for a jigsaw company...which I am trying to get done by the end of the week so I had better get back to it!

This peacock is lovely. The muted turquoises in the neck feathers are beautiful.

Thank you, I'm pleased you all liked it (and thank you also for the mention on your blog Giancarlo). I did enjoy trying to nail the colours in the neck :)

Your work is lovely. You must use about a two hair brush for that tiny detail!

This is a fun format, and your colors are so intriguing...the rainbow background you see in tail feathers.
