"This painting captures one of my most cherished moments from Sunday afternoon strolls around Palos Verdes - encountering a flock of three young peacocks basking in the warm glow of the late day sun. One magnificent specimen, with feathers unfurled, strutted proudly before me. His brilliant blue head crest and elongated neck glistened, while iridescent green and inky black specked plumage fanned out in a breathtaking display."
