Description
Almost Abstract Feather Watercolor Painting
*****
Almost Abstract Feather is a large feather painted in earthy tones of sepia, indigo, and yellow ochre, with a strong shadow, attention to the soft and downy texture of the subject and a simplicity of composition and background that lends itself to both modern and earthy decor styles. This particular feather painting is almost abstract, and could be matted and framed in many different ways to bring out the qualities you most appreciate. Imagine reclaimed barn wood, versus sleek metal. The choice is yours. It will complement the d�cor in your living room, office, yoga studio, love nest....

I confess to a powerful habit of collecting, hoarding and scattering natural found objects (think.....pinecones, bird nests, random rocks, shells, seed pods, beetle bodies etc.) all over my abode, probably much to the dismay of my husband (who can't complain because he has more than a few animal skulls to contribute). Sometimes I get the urge to paint these objects, so here is one.

What Are Found Objects? Definition, Characteristics
In modern art, the term "found object" (a translation of the French phrase "objet trouv�") is used to describe an object, found by an artist, which - with minimal modification - is then presented as a work of art. The idea is, that the artist believes that the discovered object possesses a certain aesthetic quality - stemming from its appearance, social or personal history - and therefore displays it for the appreciation of others.
Typical "found objects" include natural materials like sand (see Sand Art), earth, stones, shells, curiously shaped pieces of wood, a human skull; or man-made items such as newspaper cuttings, photographs, pieces of glass, fragments of scrap metal, pieces of textile fabric, an unmade bed, a bicycle handlebars, and so on.
"Found objects" have been used in many different types of art, includingpainting, various forms of sculpture, including assemblage and installations. The Spanish painter and sculptor Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was one of the first to publicize the idea when he affixed a printed image of chair caning onto his picture titled Still Life with Chair Caning (1912, Musee Picasso, Paris). The idea was fully developed by the experimental French artist Marcel Duchamp(1887-1968), who coined the term "readymades" shortly after the famousArmory Show (Spring 1913), to describe his signature style of "found object", as exemplified by his work entitled Fountain (1917), a standard porcelain urinal inscribed "R. Mutt 1917", which Duchamp submitted to the New York Society of Independent Artists exhibition (1917).
