"The Crow and the Peacock"
[EDIT] I didn't realise that there was a fable about the Crow and the Peacock until Stephanie mentioned the fable in her comment. Or maybe I had heard the story before and it was somewhere in the corners of my mind.
I started out wanting to paint a crow in ink and then I thought I should put it next to something bright and colourful in comparison.

I bet I know which one is plain. Great work.
I guess plain is a very relative term. In a big flock of peacocks, that raven might very well be the unique one!!! Great idea!
Love the colours you've used in the peacock Anna, these are the sorts of colours I'm really attracted to. Love the addition of the crow, it somehow makes the painting seem a little mysterious.
Very nice illustration, the colors are great.
Beautiful!
Beautiful birds. Love the colors of the peacock.
Love the colors and great use of contrast. This is a very nice take on the old fable.
I would be jealous too. If I were just a plain black bird. Very Nice.
