A peacock -one of the prettiest birds
that graces this earth-
is always a cynosure of your eyes...
No wonder the peacock is given
the exalted privilege and status of being
the National Bird of our country...
And this is one bird that is always
the favorite of all artists and craft persons...
and it beautifully adapts itself to any form of art...
paintings...sculptures...embroidery...
poems...dance...and more....
Peacock is an All Time Favorite theme
in all these creative forms...
And definitely one of my favorite themes too...
This Nib Painting shows my pretty
peacock perched gracefully
on a flowery tree....
This work is done on a black felt cloth
with a special set of nibs -
(the main tool for nib painting)
with oil paints...
The main ingredient for this work
is patience and precision...
(oil paints mess up easily and it is
not really possible to reverse the mistakes)
And the bright green leaves,
shaded pretty pink flowers
and the tree trunk do provide
a perfect backdrop
for this beautiful bird...
