“Cooper was adopted in February 2020 from an animal shelter after losing his right eye to an infection. The first thing I noticed about him was his happy "boop-adoo" coo and his enthusiastic spins. I sang and spoke to him for our whole 3 hour drive home and he booped-adoo along with me. He is social and loves to meet new people, especially if he can sit on their shoulder. We adopted Lady a year later. She was found by a rehabber friend on the street with a few other white doves, presumably from a dove release. She is shy around people but takes cues from her boyfriend Cooper. Lady's favorite activities are nesting and taking baths. Cooper's are dancing and making sounds. My favorite way to spend time with my pigeons is to read to them. They relax, loaf, and do beak snappies within a few minutes. My partner and I love Cooper and Lady so much and are so happy to have them in our lives. “

Cooper (brown & gray) and Lady (white) live with their human parents Kim and Matt in Boston, MA (USA)

About the artist who created this piece:
My name is Elodie Richard, I am a French artist based in Central Florida. I am a mother of four rescued pigeons, Sada, Hugo, Mathis (diamond doves) and Juju (Rock Pigeon). Pigeons have thousands of years of history intertwined with ours, they symbolize peace, faith, fidelity, love, hope and happiness. Mankind owes them so much!! The reality of their lives though and how they are unfairly rejected or mistreated by us is not so glorious for our own image as humans. How come such emotionally complex, gentle and smart creatures are nowadays so overlooked after thousands of years of service, being celebrated, honored, loved and praised all around the world and in all cultures/religions? In truth the way we treat pigeons reflect our own humanity, and maybe they are still here in our modern clearly unhappy urban lives to help us retrieve these lost values that make us good humans.
This is why I create a series of portraits that witness their unique beauty despite their handicaps or injuries. These birds incredible stories of survival and rescue deserve to be honored. Each pigeon story will be different.
Let the Pigeons show off their stories and true beauty to the world, and help them get the recognition and respect they deserve.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support 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.

Pigments

Paint made with colored powder suspended in a liquid binder to obtain some paint or ink.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
