This naturally finds reflection in the way they express themselves through art. So, birds,trees and animals are recurring motifs. Birds like peacocks, sparrows, and owls are popular forms in paintings. Deer also figure in many paintings, either individually or in herds. Sometimes, fawns are included too.
