A personal note about this piece:

Can color be conveyed in black & white? It’s not an original question, but it’s what I set out to explore with this piece. As a reference, I photographed a peacock at Taft Farms in Housatonic and was mesmerized by the textures of its plumage. For this drawing I placed the peacock in the nearby setting of Housatonic Flats where buttercups and rocket flowers abound, providing a composition of color and textures.
