Feather pattern photograph - art for nature lovers
It's rare for me to come home from a walk without some little fossicked treasure. I'm a bit of a magpie that way. I collect beach stones, shells, leaves, driftwood and, of course, feathers. Feathers are awesome because they can sit in vase, be used to draw with (I dip them in paint or ink) and go in my hair :-)
And, naturally, if you have a lot of feathers around, you're bound to paint them. Over the years I've done many feather drawings and paintings of all sizes and with all types of media - pen and ink, watercolours and various mixed media. Here are a few that I've done on canvas.
This large one was a Christmas present for my flying-obsessed husband.
Acrylic and ink painting by Renee Walden
This one was done in January 2014.
Feather painting in neutral palette by Renee Walden
I've loved the painting above since I finished it, and I've had attempts over the last year to make another without success. Then this weekend, I did the one below. Yes, I'm happy with this one.
Modern abstract by Renee Walden
I'm really pleased with the big cheerful feather in the one above. The bright colour scheme is so uplifting and all the pattern showing through is such fun, so wanted to repeat those ideas, but with a similar composition to the one done in January 2014.
So here is the one I completed today. I'm pretty in love with this one. It makes me feel all happy inside :-)

Potters pink is very pretty, dusty pink with an old world feel. It granulates beautifully and is very lightfast. While pretty on its own, it’s a super versatile colour to use in all sorts of ways. J...
Here's a deceptively simple painting delivers maximum impact for minimal effort — a wet-in-wet background and a limited palette do most of the work, while the result glows with light and looks far m...
There's something irresistibly paintable about a weathered fence post half-swallowed by summer wildflowers. It's the contrast that does it — rough, sun-bleached wood against the soft, fleeting delic...
