Flowers have been around since the  beginning of time as a symbol of love and

passion.

Feathers have great cultural and spiritual value to American Indians in the USA and First Nations peoples in Canada as religious objects.During the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries a booming international trade in plumes, to satisfy market demand in North America and Europe for extravagant head-dresses as adornment for fashionable women
More recently, rooster plumage has become a popular trend as a hairstyle accessory, with feathers formerly used as fishing lures now being used to provide color and style to hair

Turquoise ,has been prized as a gem and ornamental stone for thousands of years owing to its unique hue.
The word turquoise, which dates to the 16th century, is derived from an Old French word for "Turkish", because the mineral was first brought to Europe from Turkey, from the mines in historical Khorasan Province of Iran.

I hope you will like this painting.
