Feather # 113 — Red-tailed Hawk

“In this painting, I used the warm, earthy tones of hand-made pigment Rocky Mountain #7 to create a delicate feather finding its place on the canvas. By blending soft transitions and subtle edges, I layered the colors with gentle brushstrokes, allowing for a sense of calm and renewal to emerge. The natural splatters and drips capture an organic grace, inviting a feeling of tranquility and kindness to those who engage with it.”
