SINGING THE BLUES

“SINGING THE BLUES”  We had a local petting zoo not far from my home that closed many years ago. The animals were sold off to other zoos or farms but the peacocks were simply left to go wild and fend for themselves.  For many years we would see these majestic birds roaming around the local countryside.  They are a beautiful, arrogant, and noisy bird, constantly "Yelping" for attention. This guy considers himself quite a catch so when the ladies aren't around for him to court, he can be seen "Singin' the Blues".  

The painting is 48” x 36”, oil on canvas with a gallery wrap.
