I painted this one on a cold morning when the light felt blue all the way through.
The peacock isn't showing off. He's just standing there, quiet and self-possessed, while the world around him goes dark and cool. That contrast is what stopped me — this intensely alive creature against all that deep midnight blue. I kept the background loose and textured, almost like old walls after a hard rain. Then I let his feathers do the work. Cobalt. Teal. That unexpected flash of white at his crest.
The magenta at his feet was the last thing I added. It felt necessary — just enough warmth to keep the painting from going cold.
Printed on 5.25 x 5.25 inch premium cardstock with crisp detail and a smooth writing surface, these blank note cards are perfect for heartfelt messages, thoughtful gifts, or even framing as keepsakes. Whether for bird lovers, nature enthusiasts, or art collectors, the stilted sandpiper brings a touch of tranquility to every note you send.
