I have had this lovely turkey feather for some time, but struggled a bit with subject matter. The lovely barring and dark color meant that a dark or brown colored subject would not contrast well with the feather. In the end I decided to paint a bald eagle. These birds have an immense fierce pride to them, but at the same time I also know how goofy looking fish eagles can be. I hope I captured a bit of both in this painting!

Acrylic on 2" x 8.5" Eastern Wild Turkey tail covert feather.



I get a lot of questions about my painted feathers (yes. it's real paint on a real feather!)-- this link should explain it all! [link]

EDIT: Wow, thank you so much for the DD! Since I am now getting a lot of questions: yes! This is a real feather. It is possible to paint on them with care. To learn how I do it, please see the link above! :)

I commend your artistic brillance to do something like this! Wow! Stunning doesn't begin to describe it! I live in South Africa & over the Easter holidays, visited Kruger National Park with my family. We had a wonderful day of viewing animals & were fortunate to see so many of them, mostly right by the roadside. We saw a Fish Eagle sitting on a tree stump and also another kind of large eagle ~ we were right next to the tree it was in, looking up at it. I would love to see what you could do after a visit to Kruger with your talent! Please keep on giving the world the gift of your awesome talent. Blessed be & thank you for making the world brighter!
