Van Gogh is done! Hurrah!!
I finished him late last night, and started the smaller background dog with the thread unused in Van Gogh's tail. I'm doing tent stitches on the smaller dog, starting with the lightest color first and stitching rom his collar down in basketweave whenever possible, still with two strands of Burmilana. So far, so good.
Speaking of dogs, while browsing for dog canvases (preferably yellow labs--have you noticed I'm trying to find other versions of the dogs in the bar on Cape Cod and post them as the Canvas of the Day?) I discovered Barbara Russell, famous for her dog canvases, has updated her website. She doesn't just produce dog canvases, there is a white peacock canvas on her home page that has to be seen!

This is looking great! The peacock is awesome!!
Yes, I think that is an incredible peacock. You don't see many white ones, either in real life or in painted or charted NP.
Glad you like how Cape Cod Dogs is shaping up.
Ah. My darling daughter once caught the eye of an albino peacock - I think at the Cheyenne Mt. Zoo, but I'd have to go look at the photos. As she got close to him, he went into full display mode. She'd walk away and he stop. She'd move forward and he'd start again. It was hysterical.
How funny! I guess you need to stitch this canvas for your daughter, then. Or at least the white peacock feathers one that is smaller....
