I looked up the symbolic meaning of feathers and it seems they can symbolize a lot of different things... all good. It's believed that finding them can be a sign of encouragement as you philosophically travel on your path. I like that one and can sometimes use some encouragement on this painting path!
I sold my painting that I donated to the Hurricane Sandy Fundraiser on The Daily Paintworks! They have raised over $7,000 so far and still going!
Kathleen, this turned out wonderfully well! Yday, I was reading about how subordinate elements are important to support the main element and your feather has done just that! I believe in the spiritual meaning of the moment of finding one in our path.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your sale!
Wonderful composition Kathleen,the apples are amazing in texture and highlights!! The feather adds a lovely touch.I have found that angel feathers appear when I need reasurance,that everything is going to be alright.They are usually small,fluffy and white.
ReplyDeleteThank you Padmaja and Azra for your kind comments! There surely must be some spiritual meaning in finding feathers since they always brighten my outlook and mood. I also think they are absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBlue Jay is symbolic of communication and may be signaling a time to open up more to inspiration and to the supernatural.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful painting. I think the feather adds a spark of color and that appeals to me but you did such a great job on the apples that it still would a good painting without it.
ReplyDeleteI like what Padmaja said about supporting the mail element.
Beautifully painted apples! The addition of the feather colour. Well done on selling your painting for the fundraiser !
ReplyDeleteWonderful color and the blue feather was exactly what it needed.
