I rarely know what’s going to happen when I start drawing, forms just happen. But it seems that round and fluffy feathered creatures have made their way through my work recently.

They also got to me through my camera.
This is where we pick up our eggs each week. These hens live a good life: they belong to a very nice neighbour who lets them wonder around freely and they end up their lives as old hens, never in a crockpot.
These last ones were taken a while ago:
The owls were photographed at le Refuge Pageau in Abitibi, a very special shelter for animals.
The second photo was taken during a three day eco-bike tour in Outaouais.
And last but not least is a bird that was photographed on our balcony in Montreal. We left food outside for the stray cats, but these birds ate it as much as the cats.
And since we are talking about birds in this post, here is today’s inspiration: the beautiful documentary “A falconner’s tale” by my friend Marc Girard. It’s available to watch on line!
Ha ma Suppe, Merci!
Merci pour la référence au film, c’est touchant!
Que c’est beau toutes ces inspirations à plumes!
Tes dessins sont superbes ; j’ai hâte d’en avoir sur mes murs à la maison!
Je t’embrasse tendrement!
@Chantal : le film de Marc est tellement beau, j’espère que grâce à ce lien, quelques personnes de plus auront la chance de voir le documentaire!
Bises!
I love how you capture the feathers with ink. Beautiful!
Thank you Karen!
So beautiful, love the way the ink bleeds across the paper creating in its wake mystical forms. I love this kind of work where the medium itself is doing the talking and we just define it bringing out the hidden image. Can see this method of working developing into something really powerful
Thank you Carol,
I just looked at your blog and saw that you are having fun with this technique as well; I really like the little creatures that emerged from it.
I was talking about this with a friend just last night… I find this method very satisfying. It helps letting go of all sorts of barriers that we usually put on ourselves. And up to now, what has come out of it feels much more personal than what I have done before.
J’aime bien le dessin de l’oiseau bleu. Je ne l’avais jamais vu. Tu l’as fait dans le dernier mois?
Merci! Je l’ai fait en juillet ou en août…
Love your creations! I came to your blog via Carla Sonheim’s blog. I hope to someday have the wonderful delicate touch you have in your art. Merci for sharing.
