Well, his beak needs a trim- it's a bit too long, but it's a mistake I didn't realize before I sealed the painting with a spray so he gets to stay that way. ^^;
This is the portrait of a greenwing macaw, on a 8.5" molted greenwing macaw feather.
Acrylics, feather shaft is hand set with a peridot and a sapphire. This feather is much more beautiful in person, as the vividness changes depending on the viewing angle. :}

I saw an ad for your feather paintings in a bird magazine! I think it's an awesome idea and the paintings are amazing! I wish I had a bird big enough for a painting, I have a week and half old sparrow that I'm raising and plan to release her in May.
Again awesome painting!

This is my favorite of your painted feathers. The gems accent it well. Good job and great idea.

This is gorgeous. The stones in the shaft just make the whole thing. I love the placement of the painting and I can just imagine how it changes as you turn the feather and how the iridescent must add to it.
