Feather # 104 — Blue Jay

“I chose soft blues and warm browns to create this feather, blending them gently to capture the delicate transitions and subtle gradients found in nature. With light, confident brushstrokes, I allowed the colors to flow and merge, creating smooth edges and faint splatters that suggest movement and growth. This painting reflects the serenity and thoughtful contemplation I aimed to convey, subtly inviting the viewer to explore deeper meanings.”
