Peacock Phoenix Painting

A full-body side-view portrait of a beautiful blue peacock standing amidst the yellow flames in a dark, smoky background. The image is based on a picture of a bird I took in Mudchute Farm. The peacock's tail spread on the floor like a golden blanket entangled in thorns, complementing the sharpness of blood red wildfires. Its wings form an abstract eye that mimics the pattern of peacock feathers. The painting consists of high contrast of bold red, yellow and blue colours, and intense lighting effects.
