Acrylic Madhubani Peacock Painting on Handmade Paper, "Flying Peacock"

A bright peacock spreads its wings and takes flight in this fantastical Madhubani painting from India's Vidushini. Created with acrylic on handmade paper, the work mesmerizes with vivid hues of red, blue, yellow, and turquoise painted in clean, graphic lines. A lovely floral motif surrounds the bird, creating the impression of a window or a door. Madhubani paintings originated in Bihar, India, where they were used to adorn walls and floors of homes and other buildings.
