This and the next painting are of a tiger charging a group of Peacocks.

These are from the book "The Best of Wildlife Art" edited by Rachel Rubin Wolf published in 1997 by North Light Books. I bought my copy from the local Barnes and Noble bookstore. Some of the art isn't very good, but enough is that I bought it for scanning.

The Indian peafowl or blue peafowl (Pavo cristatus), a large and brightly coloured bird, is a species of peafowl native to South Asia, but introduced in many other parts of the world. The male, or peacock, is predominantly blue with a fan-like crest of spatula-tipped wire-like feathers and is best known for the long train made up of elongated upper-tail covert feathers which bear colourful eyespots. These stiff feathers are raised into a fan and quivered in a display during courtship.
