Flight of Freedom !

Painting on Feathers set on canvas and Photograph by JL

This oil miniature of an Eagle in flight was painted on “Earth Eagle” feathers, a name given to the Turkey by the Native American as they saw this bird as a provider from mother earth. Turkey were bringing forth food, clothing and were used for many other things. Most of my art on Feathers are a combination of oil painting using very tiny brushes on one or more feather, sometime sculpted with scissors to give a special shape to the subject, then using delicate skill I set them on a canvas previously painted to enhance it all for final gallery presentation.
