Description
Grey Feather
Grey Feather is a soft, neutral watercolor painting of a somewhat downy feather, painted in greyscale, in a composition notable for its simplicity and peaceful, calming effect. Sometimes it pleases me to take the time to notice and appreciate the simple and small things of beauty in our world. I am offering this same painting as a print with the feather in four different positions. It would look wonderful displayed alone, or with any variation of the four combinations hung together as prints, for repetition and continuity.

According to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feather
Feathers insulate birds from water and cold temperatures. They may also be plucked to line the nest and provide insulation to the eggs and young. The individual feathers in the wings and tail play important roles in controlling flight. Some species have a crest of feathers on their heads. Although feathers are light, a bird's plumage weighs two or three times more than its skeleton, since many bones are hollow and contain air sacs. Color patterns serve as camouflage against predators for birds in their habitats, and serve as camouflage for predators looking for a meal. As with fish, the top and bottom colors may be different, in order to provide camouflage during flight. Striking differences in feather patterns and colors are part of the sexual dimorphism of many bird species and are particularly important in selection of mating pairs. In some cases there are differences in the UV reflectivity of feathers across sexes even though no differences in color are noted in the visible range.
