   ' Pandora's Box'  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.

Yellow Roses by Paula Peacock, 11" x 14", Oil on Linen If you have questions regarding this painting please email me at paulapeacock@rocketmail.com I’m baaaaack! If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, well, my computer decided to go on a sabbatical without my permission. It’s finally up for blogging, but it still needs more work before I can go back to updating my website. It’s really been a bummer. This painting of roses is my latest attempt. I’ve never done roses before simply because I had the fear of failing, but these roses were hard to resist. They still had a glow about them even in the the last stages of life. I have the utmost regard and respect for those artists that can paint roses effortlessly as I found that painting roses are as difficult as I had feared. I hope you enjoy!
