Northern Hawk Owl painted on a naturally moulted seagull feather.
This is something I've been wanting to try for a while. I hope to get a hold of some moulted feathers from parrots, or maybe domestic geese, chickens or turkeys. But especially parrot feathers. The amazon at the pet store has a lovely, slightly iridescent quality to her feathers. I couldn't think of a more beautiful canvas on which to paint.
Acrylic paint on a naturally moulted seagull feather. No birds were harmed to make this painting. Special thanks to my friend Kaitlyn for providing me with the feather.
