I searched the internet looking for an unusual bird that my grandfather had shown me when I was young. It was a photo I never quiet forgot. He had raised various gamebirds, quail and rabbits.(Not to mention cattle, horses, dogs) I loved to visit! He considered purchasing the golden pheasant to add to his menagerie but never did. They were always on my mind. So finally I painted the golden pheasant with it's mate portrayed here. I found sooo many pictures of the bird that I realized there are many variations, colors, and types! They display such a dance when they court. They are beautiful facinating birds with lots of color. Available for purchase.
