Blue


Blue Macaw painted feather
closeup:

Painted in gold acrylic. It is my entry into Inspiration Avenue theme Blue.
The feather came from my friend Judie's parrot Wee. Judie
(not currently blogging) lives on the gulf coast.
She painted this elegant egret:

Which brings to mind all of our fine feathered friends there.

BTW...It is hard painting on a feather.

  9. Yeah, painting on a feather just sounds hard. Love the shade changes on the feather itself. Excellent piece!
