Peacock Coat

Who would think that a male peacock with its gaudy colors could ever be camouflaged? I was astonished to learn that recent research suggests all known peacock predators see only in black and white, so the subtle patterns of their beautiful feathers could actually be an effective camouflage in the leafy jungle where peacocks live. I very much enjoyed designing stencils to capture the change in pattern from head to tip of tail.
