What Love Feels Like
These Mourning Doves were created to capture the gentle beauty, compassion, and grace that should be present in all love. We’re bird nerds here at Just Feel Good Art, and to me there’s nothing better than relaxing in the evening to the tranquility of a Mourning Dove’s song. I hope this piece brings you a cozy reminiscence of what it feels like to be unconditionally loved by another.
These lovebirds were born in April 2021 and created in pencil, ink, colored in Copic markers, and highlights were added using acrylic paint. This fine-art print is 5x5 or 8x8 inches and on 100% cotton, true baryta (barium sulfate) fiber paper that offers the density of a traditional darkroom FB-type paper to hold detail in the deep blacks of the shadow regions, while producing natural white highlights that’s enhanced with a slight fiber glossy surface texture.
Why are mourning doves so awesome? “The cooooOOOOO-woo-woo-woo call is almost always uttered by the male mourning dove, not the female. These distinctive mourning dove sounds are—wait for it—a wooing call, an enticement to a mate or potential mate. Many passionate backyard birders find the soft, distinctive cooing of this dove to be calming and utterly peaceful. “The birds vocalize quite a lot and that’s where they get their name, because of their mournful call,” says John Rowden.” - Learn more here.

To me, where I create is as important as what I create.
See the creative journey.
