No Fuss and Feather

Feathers are like eye magnets, when I see one I have to pick it up, look at it, or think about it. I never thought to paint one and could not resist this recently lost feather on the water. Feathers have many symbolic meanings, from freedom to transcendence, and even communication. The descriptive “Fuss and Feathers” is an idiom used to communicate ostentation and fanfare. This simple, grey and subdued painting shows no fuss…just the feather.

"No Fuss and Feather", was selected as part of the FAV15% (jury's favorite 15% of the entries) in the May 2022 BoldBrush Painting competition.
Won first place in the SAGE 12th Annual National Juried Show and Best in Show in the Richeson75 - Animals, Birds & Wildlife 2020.       

Congratulations Fuss for being a finalist in the October 2023 PleinAir Salon Art Competition that was judged by John Manzari, owner and director of Meyer Gallery in Santa Fe, NM.

There were 985 paintings entered by 341 artists from 21 countries.
