Fern is a rescued racing pigeon who broke her wing while being forced to endure this cruel sport. She was a beloved ESA pigeon for many years before her family had to move out of the country and couldn't take her. She returned to Great Lakes Pigeon Rescue and was awaiting the perfect adopter when I happened to visit GLPR cofounder Chava at her home in DC. Fern took to me immediately, preening my head and hanging out on my lap.
Turkey, who came with me, was not impressed. Always in need of females, I decided to take Fern home with me in the hope she would marry one of my single male aviary birds. The first day in the aviary she did ok as long as I was around. The second day she clung to the hardware cloth and it was clear she was happier inside. I brought her back in the house while I figured out my next steps, and when my back was turned for 30 seconds she married Turkey.

Turkey had never shown any interest in female pigeons, being very bonded to me, but he and Fern are the perfect pair. They include me as part of their relationship and have currently also taken over the bedroom and the living room. I love hearing their little feet on the floor as they run down the hallway when they hear me come home.
Turkey's severe separation anxiety has disappeared and he is just glowing with pride and happiness.”

Fern is part of Moose’s Flock Pigeon and Dove Rescue, located in Oceanside, CA (USA)

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Technic Painting

Painters represent a very personal expression on s such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates.
