We turned some unused space in our house into a bathroom. Then we needed a door. There was this old glass panel door out in the garage that fit perfectly, but then there was the problem of being able to see through it… so my mom and I painted this peacock on it.
This one started in oil in 2005 and ended up in acrylic in 2006 after I found out I was pregnant and that certain oil pigments can be harmful to unborn babies. I didn’t know what they were, but I didn’t want to take any chances. It’s my two big brothers when they were little. It was a gift to my father and it is hanging at his home.
