  • Peacock Splendor III by Victoria Lansford

    Peacock Splendor III (Original Miniature)

    There is no other color so rich as the blue of a male peacock’s neck and throat. It is strangely difficult to replicate in pigments or dyes because it changes with the angle of light, making it elusive to capture in flat color. It is my most favorite color.

    Available as an original 5″ x 7″ (11″x13″ framed) painting ($2200) or as a limited edition, numbered and signed, 5″x7″, archival print ($65). The original is painted and illuminated (gilded) in watercolor, ink, gouache, and 23k gold leaf on real animal vellum.

  • Sold Out My Wild Neighbor the Meerkat

    My Wild Neighbor the Meerkat

    $65.00

    This miniature painting is based on a photograph I took of a very serious meerkat on sentry duty at Zoo Atlanta. She was quite suspicious of the humans circling her home. For her portrait, I set her within a Medieval style, acanthus leaf, foliate frame, painted with watercolor and accented by 23k gold gilding and inked filigree on animal skin vellum. While one might not expect a Medieval meerkat, it was quite common during the Middle Ages and Renaissance for all types of animals, real or imagined, to appear woven within such page borders of hand illuminated manuscript books. I decided this precious and dignified, yet whimsical creature warranted her very own fairy tale setting.
