All the Kings' Horses...12" x 16", Oil on Canvas If you have questions regarding this painting please email me at paulapeacock@rocketmail.com I've been thinking about doing this painting for years. I've had a fascination of nursery rhyme origins for quite some time. This painting is about the nursery rhyme, Humpty Dumpty. The following information is an excerpt from rhymes.org.uk; "Humpty Dumpty was a term used in fifteenth century England describing someone who was obese. Humpty Dumpty was in fact believed to be a large cannon! It was used during the English Civil War ( 1642 - 1649). A huge cannon, called Humpty Dumpty, was placed on the wall next to St Mary's Church. The historical events detailing the siege of Colchester are well documented - references to the cannon ( Humpty Dumpty) are as follows: *St Mary's Church is fortified and a large cannon is placed on the roof which was fired by ‘One-Eyed Jack Thompson' *July 14th / July 15th 1648 - ...

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!

'Why the Chicken REALLY Crossed the Road' 12" x 24" Oil on Canvas SOLD* I often say that I don't choose the subjects I paint, they choose me. While browsing through a local flea market, the little chicken sugar and creamer set caught my eye and for some goofy reason unknown to me, I was transfixed. They begged to be bought and at 99 cents I couldn't refuse. I love pairing unusual objects with each other. Add a little whimsy and I'm right at home with the composition.
