Artist's Comments

"Regis Pennipotenti" roughly translates as "King of Birds". Anyway, when I see a male peacock, I see an illustrious animal of power. He is unlike any other bird in the world.

While I was in Hawaii, I happened upon a flock of peacocks in the botanical gardens. Acquainted with human-kind, they allowed me to walk up to them, touch them, and watch their every move. I soon realized that these birds were in their mating season, for the males proudly shook their tails when a female passed. I delighted in these displays and took photograph after photograph. It was hard to finally choose which one I liked best for so many of them came out well. I may post more photos, depending on how well this one goes over.

Please full-view, every detail is there!
I've also sized it down to make an appropriate windows wallpaper. Feel free to download it and use it as your own desktop!

I was so amazed when his tail was opened, it's beauty in nature is just astounding. I'm thinking they have to see in color too - otherwise the ladies are missing out!

Great composition and colors. Interesting how the background behind the bird is pure white. Faved.

You don't have to be sad to write a sad song, or in love to write a love song.
