With their sumptuous ornamental feathers, elegant silhouettes and rich
iridescent colors, peacocks were the Art Nouveau birds par excellence.
I love watching the many different ways in which artists have played
with such complex and fascinating imagery.
Many thanks to the beautiful Peacock's Garden for some of the images
in this post, go visit that enchanted place and you'll find much more.
