Painting Transformation

I was working on this painting for a while, or should I say a little over a long period of time. I was just not happy on how it was turning out so here is a sequence starting from the first recorded version:

Step 1

This image was influenced by one of the Diebenkorn's paintings from his 'Clubs and Spades' series and that's how it started. Well, almost, because it was painted on top of a canvas where I had another idea that I didn't like.





Step 2





Step 3





Step 4



Can you see a peacock somewhere nearby?
