This is a peacock commissioned by a dear friend of mine, hence the title, Bev's Peacock. I finished this colored pencil drawing a couple of weeks ago, and brought it to her just a few days ago. I am delighted to say that she loved it.
Above you see my reference picture. This is a beautiful table cloth
hand embroidered by Bev's Mom, our beloved Grandma Gladys. It is a
privilege to be a part of the family, and to partner with Grandma to
give dear Bev--my adopted older sister--something she loves so much.
Here is a peek into my sketchbook from long ago. I created this abstract graphite drawing when I was just 18 years old.
Have a lovely day and
Happy Paint Party Friday!
