It's #FeatherFriday! It was nice to work on/finish something and not hate it.
Maybe I need to come back to these basic pieces when I'm hating on my work.

Near as I can tell (find) macaws don't have the fluff only feathers? So I adjusted to the top feather to remove the upper fluff. Should I keep it or go full fluff? Or 50/50 fluff? Thoughts?

My art assistants finally freed me to start my #FeatherFriday art. My references are brown with polka dots, but I want something more colorful.

It's been a busy week--most of it good, but BUSY, so I haven't done much art. Happy to have finished yesterday's feather.

Working on a red-crowned parrot feather for #FeatherFriday. Might even play with my new #Ohuhu metallic markers. 😏

I need to get back to my Bird Whisperers lovebirds, but I'm really into these chanterelles atm. The one I'm working on now is challenging because so. Many. Lines.

A silvery grey feather floating on dark water. Several droplets of water are beaded on it's surface. The largest droplet magnifies the pattern of the barbs. At the quill end, downybarbs, coloured brown & grey stretch out past the vane.

Done.
Definitely prefer it with the smudging (second photo).

Remembering how difficult it can be to display shade differences (for me) in gray scale. I'm sure it's just learning and practice.

Working on my first feather in awhile (signed because it's supposed to be done today). Inspo is a sketch of a peacock feather I believe.

It’s our inaugural #FeatherFriday!
This cockatoo has more dance moves than you!
Apart from humans, dancing in sync with music has only been observed in cockatoos, and it gives us an insight to their cognitive processes.

Had an appointment in central Lund today and this blackbird (Koltrast) with Leucism jumped out of the bush so I just had to bring out the gear and photograph it 😊

This was quite an awesome scene!
Two #RedtailedHawks, a juvenile (bottom), adult (top), and a #Raven, all fight for air superiority and territory! Eventually the adult bugged out, while the juvenile was left alone.
