Feather Paintings
by Pennsylvania artist Barb Gable
"14-pt Mule Deer", painted for a friend, from a photo of his deer-head mount.  Similar feathers, unframed, $75; add $25 for frame
"Call of the Wild", double-feather painting of a gray wolf head (sorry about the camera flash on his forehead!)  The painting is finished with additional feathers at the base. Similar painting, sold framed, $110.00
These two dog feather-paintings were ordered by the same lady who saw my work at a craft/art show.  Her pets are the Bedlington Terriers and the Schnauzer-type mixed-breed, and her friend`s dogs are the two boxers at the right.  Both feather portraits were painted from e-mail attachments sent to me.

Every painting shown here can be duplicated; however, no two will ever look completely alike,as they are original, hand-painted art.  As always, custom orders welcome!
