The Fennel Bird (oil painting on paper)
Today I fineshed another illustration for the project about the wild plants in my area and I'm happy to share this new one with you!
This piece is about the Foeniculum vulgare, best known as Fennel, a plant that I love so much because I use it often as aromatic herb when I cook the chestnuts. Fennel is in the carrot family and it has little yellow flowers that looks like a sort of umbrella. ^_^
It's a very common plant here in my area (in the center of Italy) and, cause the taste similar to the anise, is an ingredient of absinthe too.
According to my friend Cecilia (I'm painting these illustrations for one of her project about herbs) I painted this plant with a bird, who represent the element "Air".
It's an oil painting on 200 gsm paper in A4 size and I hope you like it ^_^
See ya soon

Very beautiful Silvia!!! :D :D :D

I like this bird, you need to do something like a type on three sheets or two, so that it would not be lonely)
I like the way you handle oil.
I'm afraid to try to paint with oil paint. I tried acrylic, it is difficult for me. Now I can do watercolor painting best of all)
Have a good mood!
I think oil colors are the best color to start painting, but not on paper, it's better to start on canvas because if you paint something wrong you can correct ^^ Using oils on paper is similar to watercolor, to correct the mistakes is not simple ^^
Cute plump bird, reminds me of an albino robin.

I love the little bird sitting on the plant. I plant this in my garden for the Swallowtail butterflies to lay their eggs on and of course, I save the seeds for flavoring some dishes I make. I love this herb.
I love it too! I like to use the seed to cook chestnut ^_^

Very adorable, Silvia :) I really love this one, the bird looks plump and beautiful, the contrast between its pale feathers and dark eyes makes this bird carry an air of innocence :)
Fennels are very beautiful plants but they are considered weed here in Australia, hahaha.... I love the yellow flowers of this plant, though, they are very pretty :) And yes, it really brings a certain flavour when used in cooking :)
Very nice picture, @silviabeneforti <3
I also look forward to seeing your Diane Arbus' piece's completion :D !!!
