“In this painting, I worked with a gentle blend of soft browns and muted grays, allowing the colors to flow into one another, creating a sense of quiet strength. The feather's form is defined by delicate brushstrokes that seem to both embrace and lift, with subtle edges and occasional splatters that hint at resilience. I intended for this piece to capture the essence of nurturing and self-giving, evoking the warmth of care and the weight of responsibility.”
