Peacock, by New York artist, Celeste Plowden
These colors reminded me of a peacock gliding in and out between the light and shadow of the day...and when I thought I had finished an abstract painting of only form and color, I found two peacock faces somehow formed during the process. 11x14 acrylic on gallery wrap canvas, sides painted, UVvarnish, wired and ready to hang. Available at
I learned the art of acrylic and pastel painting through private instruction, after having spent my career as a designer of printed fabrics in the New York market place. I am a graduate of the College of Design, Art and Architecture at the University of Cincinnati, with a major in the History of Art, 1977. Later, I studied printed textile design at Parsons School of Design, in New York. Immediately afterward, I began free lance work for several design studios in the garment district of NYC, where I did re-coloration work for printed apparel fabrics, and sold my own designs through Bread and Butter Designs,also located in New York. In addition, during the 1980's and 1990's, I designed a number of needlecraft and stencil books for Dover Publications. Currently, I am working on a series of exotic birds and other animals done in acrylic paint, with a palette knife, for texture and brilliant color. I consider my paintings to be representational or impressionistic in nature, and I use fantasy colors because what I see often makes me feel these colors,and what would make an interesting composition, rather than using realistic colors.

I love to paint these showy birds as they are abundant around here in California.
Let me know if you have a great title for me!So far we have "Just Plain Fancy", "His Majesty" and "Belle of the Ball". But of course he is a boy bird so let's see what else we can come up with!

Once in awhile I fall in love with a
painting and am requested to paint a similar one. I painted one like this awhile ago and when
it sold promised myself I would bring it new life. Well here it is!
Bigger though on this long canvas :)
