"Peacock Chick" 5x7 oil

Impressionist painting requires some suggestion - using a brush and a knife I hint at what is real, a kinda shorthand which we viewers understand without the need for over explanation. Anyhow, I was drawn by this pair in a well-cultivated lavender field. They look sooo cute together. There was second chick around, probably lagging behind somewhere in the the rows of lavender....
