Description

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A PRE-ORDER ITEM: The feather sent to you will not be exactly identical to the one (or ones) pictured - there will be some variation of color and detail - the auction is to request this image from Russ. There will be a maximum of one week from the purchase of the feather until it is ready and I can send it out to you. I can email a photo of your feather to you before sending it out to you, to make sure you are happy with it. Just let me know by email that you would like this done, and give what e-mail address to send the images to.

This item is a three feather painting by Michigan artist Russ Abbott.

The image is of a Bald Eagle on an orange sky. The feathers together will measure about 10 1/2 inches from tip to tip, and around 5 inches across. The piece is painted with acrylic paint, and is signed and dated.

It is mounted on white matt with a black shadow-box type border (as in the pictures). The matt is cut to fit 14x11 frames.

All of Russ Abbott's feathers are unique. He picks out feathers that fit each design, then starts with an acrylic airbrush base, and a stencil to get the general outline. He then puts in all the detail of texture, fur, feather, color, facial details, flowers, reflections - everything else that makes the feather stand out - by brush. This means that while he may have two feathers painted with wolf eyes, or two hummingbirds - they are never identical, and always individual.

The feathers he uses are Turkey, and have been pre-sterilised, and sealed before and after to preserve the paint and the shape.

This feather comes mounted (as in the first picture) without a wooden and glass frame, though I can add the frame for an extra 20 dollars (I would add it on the invoice, if asked - and that would also cover the increase in packing and shipping)

If paid for on the same invoice, I can do combined shipping on any of the feathers at $3.00 for each additional feather inside the US and $7.00 for each outside the US.

Please feel free to ask any questions.
