This painting is on canvas, but it is not a mounted canvas. However, my idea in having a thin canvas is so you can dress up the way you display it. I envisioned that this piece would hang on the wall and around it would hang a somewhat larger frame so the painting is within the frame, but not touching it. It would be a decoratively carved frame, thick and bulky, and I would paint it a teal blue (and maybe give it a weathered/antique look) to give it a little edge.
Now, that is just my idea... you can do with it what you wish.
P.S. It's a peacock.
If you would like to be in the drawing, you must 1. be a subscriber of this blog and 2. leave a comment below this post telling me how you are going to (or would like to) display this painting. I will draw the winner on July 7th (a week from tomorrow).
I do get page views from countries outside of the US, but I am sorry, the winning address must be inside the US. (I will get the address of the winner when the name is drawn.)
