This macro photo of a soft feather with a beautiful dot pattern is a work of nature's art. It is wonderful how a feather is put together and how all the parts are connected and all have their own function. Feathers allow a bird to fly but the feathers also keep the bird warm and dry. The hollow shaft ensures that the feathers hardly weigh anything, it is sometimes said that they are "as light as a feather".
And each feather has its own colour, shape and pattern.
This feather has a special dot pattern. The dots are nicely distributed on the end of the feather. If you then superimpose all the feathers, the bird to whom this feather belongs has a beautiful plumage.
The bird in question is a guinea fowl (Numididae). This bird indeed has a beautiful plumage full of cheerful dots.
For the photo of this feather, I have depicted the feather itself in warm orange against a background of cool blue. Orange and blue are complementary colours, complementing each other beautifully but also forming a beautiful contrast with each other.
This artwork of nature shows extraordinary details. This soft little feather with dots is a beautiful and romantic artwork in pastel shades for your wall!
I see making art as a creative process.
The starting point of this process for me is always a photo or a painting of my own. Every work of art on this site is therefore based on a self-made photo or painting.
I find my sources of inspiration in everything around me...
