This week peacock feathers have been appears in so many places around me and i felt it would be fitting to share this painting that was done." Peacocks are known as ‘the bird of 100 eyes'.The ‘eyes’ became a favourite mythic metaphor as all-seeing witnesses to hidden transgressions.The concept found its way into religious belief as the symbol of beatific vision. In the ancient myths of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, the Peacock feather was a symbol of the ‘evil eye’". ironically i also wore a necklace this week with the evil eye symbol on it.
when i got a tattoo of a peacock on my body, it was added due to the mention of a peacock being a symbol of a change in life circumstances. this tattoo was the only one i did not design myself. i just explained to the tattoo artist what i wanted and let him work his magic with the image i had in my head. it was a first experience trusting someone with placing art on my body that i did not create myself. trust is the operative word because my tattoos are so closely connected to who i am and what i have been through in life.



i can not fit all of the peacock on one photo so i have broken it down into two pics
