the talents that some people have,
take artist Adele Renault as an example, whilst most of us see a flying disease carrying rat, the common pigeon,
she sees a thing of beauty and a joy to behold,
this year she painted a mural of “Baby
Girl,” a New Jersey pigeon who won a 366 mile race 19 minutes ahead of the
other feathered contestants,
a few years ago she dedicated a series of smaller paintings to “Camp,” a pigeon adopted by a Chicago couple after finding his egg left on their kitchen table,
by
focusing on these inspiring stories, Renault highlights the often overlooked
bird as a magnificent creature rather than an urban nuisance,
Her brightly hued public murals and paintings on canvas bring purples and blues into the bird’s feathers, and accentuate the iridescent tones one might not notice at first glance,
Adele at work in her studio,
recently she published a book combining her avian works
titled Feathers and Faces,
You can view more of her large-scale paintings on her website and Instagram, and no I am not on commission, I just think the wall murals are stunning,
the pigeons she paints are full of detail, imagine how given the same care to detail, and a really colourful bird like a Kingfisher or Hummingbird mural would look!
