I almost forgot! The other Linda Merrill, who’s name comes ahead of mine in a google search, is the author of the amazing book, “The Peacock Room”, about the story of “The magnificent Peacock Room, decorated by James McNeill Whistler in 1876-77 for wealthy London shipowner Frederick Leyland, quickly became one of the most controversial, celebrated, and scandalous rooms in the world.” I read the book and it’s a fascinating story – full of art, artistes, ego and scandal. The entire room was moved to America and is now part of the Smithsonian’s Freer Gallery.
I’ve found that people are bird/feather people, or they are definitely not. Much like animal prints. What about you? Love ’em or leave ’em?
i adore peacocks and love eveything you posted. thanks!
Peacocks are great. The colors and shapes are fantastic. I just realized I never linked you in Linda. My apologies and oversight. I will fix that today. 🙂
Love them! That screen is wonderful!!
Yes, I think peacocks are a hit!
And thanks, Another Shade of Gray!
Adore them too! I have 9 peacocks in my garden in Marrakesh!
I’m a big fan of peacocks too! Which is why I’m sad I missed out on this show when I was in Scotland – got there 1/2 an hour after it closed. 🙁
