“I chose a palette featuring my hand-made pigment, Rocky Mountain #6, to create earthy and calming tones in this piece. With delicate brushstrokes, I layered soft browns and gentle creams, allowing the curves of the feather to flow naturally and bring a sense of tranquility to the viewer. As the feather takes shape, subtle splatters and soft edges come together, crafting an experience that invites a gentle, soothing energy without needing words to convey it.”
