Feathers

Feathers, a photo by Teri DC on Flickr.

I found these feathers when I was walking so I brought them home to paint. The one on the left was on the island at the lake so I'm guessing it belongs to a duck.
I found the reddish one hanging on a bush and have no idea where it came from. The shaft was broken so I'm not even sure how long it was.
Feathers are always fun to paint.
I cropped this from a journal page I am adding to everyday. The background is pre-painted.

While we were in Phoenix I took a walk to see if there were any interesting cacti and found this one, probably a night blooming cereus. What made it interesting were the seed pods hanging on the branches.
Cropped out of my daily journal.
