Painting on Turkey Feathers
I have to thank my brother Tony for thinking of me as he was driving from East Hampton back toward New York City. He saw a large turkey beside the road. It had been hit by a car. He stopped his car and pulled a variety of feathers from the dead bird. Tony was thinking about how I love to paint and the fascinating paintings that he saw done on feathers. He was sure I would enjoy the challenge of painting on feathers.
I was not that sure until yesterday when I painted my first two feathers. The first was a mother and baby bear almost nose to nose. The second is a raccoon sitting in the vee of two branches. Before I painted anything I did some internet research. I learned that many birds are protected and their feathers can not be used. Feathers from non migratory birds like turkeys on the other hand can be used.
I think I would like to try a painting of an egret next.
