Feather # 118 — Blue Jay

“I love how the gentle blues and soft browns from my hand-made Rocky Mountain #6 pigment blend seamlessly in this piece. I used delicate brushstrokes and subtle layering to create smooth transitions and textures, capturing the natural fluidity of a feather. Every edge and splatter adds to a sense of calm and connection, reflecting the soothing unity I aimed for through my work.”
