Allegorical, Realism, Surrealism Still-Life Oil Paintings by Paula Peacock


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. His litter-mates appeared to have the same problem of holding down jobs and ended up expecting Two's mate, me, to support them as well. Huh! We'll see about that! His pile of sticks came tumbling down around his cute tiny head. 
Three has taken a lot of training on how to be a husband. Three is also a work in progress. We were married 15 years, divorced for 5, and have been remarried for 6. Three has an excellent foundation, but it just needs a bit of mortar repair now and again. Three is a good piggy and not a Passing Fancy.
Life is good!!

May all that is happy be known to your heart.

Love and Light to you and yours,

Paula

'Pandora's Box', Narrative Still-Life Realism Oil Paintings by Paula peacock

Image
    '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

'The Awakening' Allegorical, Realism, Surrealism, Fine Art Still-Life Oil Paintings by Paula Peacock

Image
               The Awakening by Paula Peacock 24" x 30" Oil on Canvas Rebirth, spiritual awakening. In a sea of the unknown, of what lays beyond, and of what lays beneath a woman is reborn, emerging from the lotus flower to a deeper understanding of spirit, of unconditional love, to experience a deep connection with All That Is. She has released the fear of death and stands her truth. She knows the meaning and purpose of her life, understands the suffering of humanity, she has an awareness, the ability to stay balanced and centered amid the storms of life. She is Love, Gratitude, Light, Compassion, Healer, Teacher, and sees the Divine in every single one of us. The Past does not exist. Tear catchers have been set asea. She has awakened and shares her Inner Freedom with those who are waiting, wanting, anticipating the re-birth of their Awareness, their Truth, their Inner Freedom.
