Feather # 105 — American Goldfinch

“In creating this piece, I carefully mixed a soft palette using my hand-made Rocky Mountain #7 pigment, bringing out warm golden hues and gentle blues. As I laid down each brushstroke, I focused on playful splatters and fluid drips to capture a feeling of lightness and serenity. The gentle transitions and delicate layering invite a sense of calm, flowing like the gentle sway of a feather in a light breeze.”
