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.

'If it Walks Like a Duck...' Contemporary Oil Paintings by Paula Peacock

'If it Walks Like a Duck...' by Paula Peacock 12" x 24" Oil on Canvas Edgar Degas said; "A painting requires a little mystery, some vagueness, some fantasy. When you always make your meaning perfectly clear, you end up boring people." I like it when I manage to pique someones' interest in a painting, to keep them standing in front of it, thinking, cogitating on its meaning, wondering "What the heck was this artist thinking?" I don't try to make it my goal. I'm simply painting my life journey. Painting is a state of being and self-discovery. A painter paints what she is.   If you are interested in purchasing please contact the artist HERE To view more of her work see www.paulapeacock.fineartstudioonline.com

"The Key to Me" Oil Paintings by Paula Peacock

'The Key to Me' Oil on Linen 16" x 20" by Paula Peacock The inner pear shows an attempt to discard the outer dark cloak of constant depression (the outer layer) which serves as a hardened armor and a disguise to fool, not only myself, but others as well.  The inner pear tries to emerge completely out, to be what she once was, but continues holding on to her protective tough skin not quite ready to bravely step out and be happy without feeling guilt.
