Therein lays superb intertwinedcombinations of hue, saturation, vibrance, tone, vignette, texture and contrast. As nature inspired impressionist painters, I’ve borrowed nine of its completed, detailed canvases, to explore and create an impressionist theme.
Natures Work Of Art
I marvel at a Peacock egg. How does this innocuous, dull and humble orb turn into a magnificent, majestic, extravagantly colourful creature? Natures capacity to create a masterpiece of pattern and colour that is so powerfully vibrant, beautifully balanced and contrasting is dazzling.
Every separate feather is a work of art; every feather is unique. The Peacocks array of feathers presents for us many detailed artworks to behold and enjoy. Bold colours, subtle vignettes, sharp graphics fused in a stunningly balanced portrait.
My Portfolio of prints freezes moments in time of a peacock's life which presents an opportunity to absorb the staggering beauty in the exhaustive art of the Peacock. In real life, these artworks are difficult to take in, as while we enjoy and observe, our sensors fill with the overall stunning beauty, and our ability to absorb the exquisite detail is limited.
Adding to the fascination and complexity this work of art also flies.
