Ever wondered How Long It Takes To Paint a Feather….??

Paintings by Julia Thompson. A number of other feather painting photographs included in the original email have been omitted from this example.

Many wonderful feather paintings, including those in the email, are available for viewing on Julie Thompson's website. The artist explains:

I began painting feathers back in 1990, purely as a means of putting to use all the broad sturdy wing feathers that my mother's peacocks would shed. I had never seen this done before, but knowing the bonding properties of acrylic paint, I thought it was a feasible experiment. I began with simple subject matters like pictographs and still-life’s, but soon that grew to a very broad range of subject matter.

The feather paintings also feature in a video clip of folk singer Gordon Lightfoot's song "Cherokee Bend".
