This original oil painting is one in 20 (thus far) of Roxy's Cotswold Collection. The Cotswolds has resident peacocks.  This is one of two paintings in the same size featuring peacocks from the Cotswolds. The other is titled:  Purple Peacock

The Cotswolds is an area of outstanding beauty in England. This cluster of villages hosts an array of medieval cottages built with local stone which gives them a golden sheen. Roxy was so enamored with them that she painted an entire collection from her travels. She first read of the area in the late M. C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin series which is now a television series. Roxy first went in Winter (December 2012) and a couple of years later in late Summer. The first 12 in the collection took five years to paint.  They were featured in Roxy's Solo Exhibit at the Porto Vista Hotel in San Diego.  She has since been several times and added to the collection.  Her travels prompted her to learn painting in Watercolor so that she could paint on location while abroad. 

This particular painting was completed on canvas panel. Roxy wanted to add peacocks to the collection.  There are white ones in the Cotswolds, but she took artistic license and made this one purple!

*Roxy's photographs are also available in print through the Shop Prints tab.  

The Cotswold Collection is Roxy's prized possession. She takes great pride in the completion of the series.
