Here is my last entry for a few weeks for Layers of Color Challenge:Exotic Birds. I will be vacationing with family at the Oregon Coast. My absolute favorite place to relax with my family.The Peacock has been a symbol of pride and vanity, but I thought he was the perfect subject for the Exotic Bird theme this week. The Bible has lots to say about pride for example:
Proverbs 1:11-3
1 The LORD abhors dishonest scales,
but accurate weights are his delight.
2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.
3 The integrity of the upright guides them,
3 The integrity of the upright guides them,
but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity
Genius and virtue are to be more often found clothed in gray than in peacock bright.
~Van Wyck Brooks
Be back soon!

Heather, this is gorgeous! I started using a peacock for my piece too, but in the end I went with something else. Enjoy your vacation and come home refreshed and ready to make some more beautiful art!
