This stunning Peacock Backdrop was used at the Hobby-X Show Johannesburg South Africa, 2015 we wanted to create the impression of a stained glass window, the design was done on 4 wood panels. it took 2 months to complete, the artwork was then sealed with a high gloss varnish giving the impression of glass…many admirers of the piece were shocked to learn that this was not in fact stained glass but wood…a SHOWSTOPPER, admired and photographed by many visitors to the show.
