Sunrise study #1
An artist gets inspiration from many sources: other artists, the natural world, animals, people, and many others. I got this inspiration from the top feather. To me, it was so obviously like a sunrise that it practically dictated this piece. That’s the thing about perfect natural feathers, am not going to paint a sunset on a feather because I want to honor the natural color. Both feathers are from an Amazon Parrot, about five inches long so the final piece is only 5 x 7 inches.
