I Started Painting On Feathers In 2013, Here Is A Selection Of My Favorite Feather Paintings From Last Year (24 Pics)
They call me the feather lady.
When I started painting feathers in 2013 I never knew it would become so popular. Now, I am known for it and people all over the world buy my feathers.
I collect feathers from my walks. Also, people send me the feathers they find and their bird's feathers.
Painting feathers is a difficult art to master. It takes patience, much practice, and understanding of birds.
Here is a selection of my favorite feather paintings from 2018.

Fox On Turkey
Thank you. Foxes are one of my favourite to paint
Load More Replies...I don't like this one as much, I think it's the angle of the fox. All of the paintings are amazing including this one. The details are beautiful.
My theory: the fox ate the turkey and that's his/her portrait 😃
Haha...you're so right! This is why I painted it 😁

Barn Owl On Peafowl
Makes sense, both have "owl" in their name 😉 (yeah, yeah, I know that the etymology of peafowl is pea+fowl https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/peafowl)
Far too much thinking night owl hehe. Unfortunately, it's rare that I can use owl feathers to paint on as alot of species are protected her. These peahen feathers have the same shades in them as owl feathers so compliment the painting

Mother And Child On Peacock
Lots of perseverance and hard work 😉

"Barn Owl On Barn Owl" sounds like the title of a video with two barn owls mating. Or barn-owl-ception
This is a case of being able to use owl feathers where the customer has provided feathers from their own bird and I am selling the art rather than the feather, as this is illegal. These two gilt framed barn owls were a commission for the Secret World Wildlife Rescue

Stag On Peafowl
It's amazing that this artist though to use feathers as a canvas! Very original!
Thank you ❤️ it's actually an ancient craft dating back to the indigenous people of the Americas

Amazing... Amazingly detailed! One can only guess how much patience & practice are needed to achieve this level of perfection, well done & thanks for sharing! :)
Thank you for your appreciation Rose though patience is one thing I haven't got...it's the love of my art that fuels the paintings. I hope it shows ❤️
Load More Replies...Amazing work. Especially the small ones which still have many clearly visible details. I can only imagine how hard it is to paint on an material like feathers.
Thanks for your appreciation Night owl (and your sense of humour) 😊 it has taken a long while to get to the stage I am at now and I'm still learning.
Load More Replies...I love painting them too! Unfortunately it is hard to find fox feathers in this day and age 😉😂😊
Load More Replies...omg, what an awesome talent you have! i can't draw a straight line, so i'm definitely in awe of this. LOVE the earrings, but would be so scared to wear them for fear of messing up the continuity of the artwork.
I have customers frame my painted feather jewellery for the same reason instead of wearing it! I urge people to wear it because it's been fluttering about the wild for a few years before I get my hands on it and the paint is acrylic so not washing off hahaha. If they get wet they can he back to new left to dry naturally then given a little preen 😉
Load More Replies...Her website doesn't say, but if I were to attempt something so delicate, I would probably use oil paints thinned with linseed or another base.
