Lilies with Critters 18" x 24" Oil on Canvas White isn't just white. I love the challenge of painting white and the search for the subtle colors that hide so well. For me, it's like being on a treasure hunt and having that "ah-ha!" moment of discovery when I find the soft colors hidden within. Looking closely at this painting you will find the 'critters'; a hummingbird, ladybug, butterfly, and snail who I fondly refer to as Harvey. Harvey was a bit slow in his arrival at the feast. Being fashionably late isn't always popular. May all that is happy be known to your heart. Love and Light to you and yours, Paula  WEBSITE Follow Paula on  Facebook Follow Paula on  Instagram  (paulapeacock3173) For purchasing please contact Paula at  paulapeacock@rocketmail.com  To view more of my work go to  www.paulapeacock.com

Flight of the Passing Fancy by Paula Peacock 36" x 48" oil on canvas This painting took five years to complete. I, evidently, was spending a lot of time contemplating my choice in men while working on this one. No, I'm not 'man-bashing'. I'm just truth-speaking. This painting is a fairy tale about 'Three Little Pigs'.  Piggy One, also known as Passing Fancy One, built his home with straw. Hence the box of drinking straws. Needless to say, this pig had a drinking problem. Oops! You ignored those red flags, didn't you, Paula. Piggy had the annoying habit of always wearing sunglasses indoors, on cloudy days, and even dark evenings. Always! Straws did not make a firm foundation for a home. Passing Fancy Two built his home with sticks. That's him sitting on top of the vintage game of 'Pick Up Stix'. Piggy, Two, was a very lazy and immature piggy. He came from a wealthy family and rarely worked. Mama sow had refused to allow any more suckling...

The Awakening by Paula Peacock D'art Gallery 900 Santa Fe. Dr. Denver, CO   I am exhibiting at the D'art Gallery Nov 12 - Dec 6, 2020, with my solo exhibit titled Altered Soul.  Altered Soul is an exhibit depicting the journey of an artist's struggle with grief after the loss of a loved one to violence.  The artist is me, Paula Peacock, and the loved one, my son. Each painting and sculpture beckons you to lean in and feel the expressions of loneliness, anger, confusion, and depression of the artist. This visual journal was my art therapy, defining grief in a way I couldn't define with words. It lifted me from a very dark place up to the surface and even higher to a place of spiritual awakening and an understanding of unconditional love and forgiveness giving me a desire to help others to take that step upward into the peace of mind we all deserve. I have watched this exhibit turn into a cathartic and cleansing experience for others viewing the art, who express th...

    'Pandora's Box'  by Paula Peacock Oil on Canvas, 16" x 20" Love, love, love how this one turned out! This painting was years in the planning stages. Planning of the composition, the subject matter, do I include Pandora or not? How to depict the evils of the world? How to depict 'Hope'? In the end, I decided Pandora was overdone and in other paintings I found, Pandora always seemed to be depicted as an overly sexy sex object and a bit on the 'witchy' side. So, I decided to save Pandora the humiliation and let her take a rest from this rendition by painting only the 'box'. All the other elements fell into place after I found the perfect vessel. The apple is representative of Eve, another woman blamed for the woes of the world. But, that will be another story in another painting. Here's a bit of what I call 'useless information that stuck in my brain for no apparent reason'. It really was NOT a box but a bowl. I guess t...
