peacock feather

Try as I might I cannot paint an authentic looking peacock feather.  The bottom one is getting closer but needs work.  Maybe when I get my new books it will help.  Drawing on the Right side of the brain and a color book by the same author.  The top and middle are what I "think" a peacock feather looks like...

Found more fabric that matches the bedroom.  Bought a few yards of it and going to make Riki his own blanket so he can leave mine alone.  The little brat chewed two rows of beads off the scarf the other day.
