Artist:  Christine

Dimensions:  40"w x 30"h

Materials:  Sculpted vinyl-plaster and stucco compound colored with multiple layers of acrylic paints and glazes, silk flowers, 22 vintage jewels, finished with an ultra-durable exterior varnish

Description:  A sleek and sophisticated peahen rests on a rock as she gazes off into the distance.  She protects herself from the hot safari sun by staying in the shade of a large banana plant and drinking from the cool river below.  Her feathered train glistens gold with ancient jewels from faraway places.  The repeated pattern of the nearby flowers and this remarkable creature create a true vision of birds in paradise.
