Requiem for the feathered

Painting of woman being tattooed by Huia as the last of their species
Requiem for the feathered

102 x 137 cm, Oil on Canvas, 2011

She cares nought, tis worth the pain, aquiver and ecstatic. For one as her, curse'd lost, who'll wrest a thrill at any cost, she notes the tone hieratic.
