Description

Photographer Cycoze was kind enough to provide me with a cropped version of his lovely picture ( [link] ) to use as a source for this.

Oil on canvas, about 9 inches wide and 14 inches tall. I primed the canvas with black gesso and I really like the way the colours work using the black background. This consists of four layers so I've been painting it with big gaps for each layer to dry for about six months.

*ETA* updated photo. Photographing oil paintings is an exercise in frustration... The original is slightly sharper with a slightly lighter background and more contrast between blue and green on the feathers. There's also some shadow and texture on the white feathers that is not showing up.
