Your paintings are incredible. I love the colours, the lively poses and the care in the details! Just amazing!

I've seen quite a few feather paintings before but I haven't seen anybody paint across multiple feathers before. It takes a separate skill altogether to get glue to behave like that!

Truly a lovely design! The neon effect in the background contrasts so well with the black, and the detail is done very nicely.

Thanks! It was tricky because I wanted to show the backlit effect of the wings, but on these dark feathers, a blue sky is hard to make look right. I like to keep the dark background for the most part, so had light shining through the trees to light the back of the feathers.

Yes, I use an acid-free bookbinding glue to keep the three feathers together.
