- I am an oil painter living in Portland, Oregon with my husband and two little children. I recieved my BA in fine arts from the University of Oregon, studied watercolor in Siena, Italy and oil painting and print making at the Chautauqua Institute in New York. I have been painting professionally since graduating in 2000. Current obsessions include imaginary friends, snow, little mammals, folklore, superstitions, fortunetelling, wildflowers, wallpaper, cloudy landscapes, the colors of faded polaroids, and other peoples family snapshots.

I never heard this about a black feather either. I ususally bring them to the house for my feather stash. :)
I really like the painting and I love your titles. I'm still smiling about Albert being suspicious of his imaginary friend. :)
Terrific work you do!
I had no idea! I have tons of black and black spotted feathers EVERYWHERE (this is what happens when you keep chickens!) I'm going to be madly sticking them upright from now on!
Fabulous concept and title and a very endearing painting....lovely :)
thank you. it was an idea that was kicking around for some time, i was quite happy with how it came together and i spend so much time reading about superstitions that luckily i don't follow them or i'd really be unable to do anything at all.
I keep thinking of finding a black feather in a parking lot. I pick it up and go to place it in the only little green area I can see. As I get to the small green area I see other black feathers already there, sticking up in the dirt.
