Artist's notes:

indian_ thumb The Indian Peacock was completed on 1.4.10. I love these amazing birds. When I'm in Arizona two of the places I like to visit have several of them; the Wildlife World Zoo in Litchfield Park and the 'Sahauro' Ranch in Glendale. What I love most about them is that they are so unique in the animal kingdom. I had trouble deciding whether to draw a male displaying or at rest. I settled on this angle looking down on the feathers, otherwise the body of the bird tends to get lost I feel. The drawing is based on a photo by Josh More.

Information about the Indian Peacock:

Indian Peafowl - also known as Common Peafowl or Blue Peafowl - is a large bird of the Phasianidae family. These birds are native to the dry semi-desert grasslands, scrub and deciduous forests of the Indian Sub-Continent, although feral populations of these adaptable birds are found all over the planet - especially in areas with similar enviroments to their native range. It is an opportunistic feeder and will eat plant materials such as fruits and seeds, along with small mammals and reptiles. The males are larger and much more brightly colored. When courting males raise their plumage in hopes of attracting a mate.
