Feather # 1 — Coopers Owl

“In creating this piece, I embraced the earthy browns and soft grays, allowing them to softly blend and bleed into each other with gentle washes that mimic the natural texture of a feather. The delicate transitions and subtle layering reflect a quiet dance between light and shadow, where each brushstroke is intentional yet allows for a touch of spontaneity. By focusing on smooth edges and subtle drips, I aimed to express a quiet harmony and the gentle give-and-take that nature teaches us.”
