“In this painting, I used soft, earthy hues with gentle transitions from light to dark to capture the delicate beauty of the feather. The subtle layering and careful brushstrokes create a sense of movement, while the splatters and drips form a natural and spontaneous texture. By focusing on the feather’s intricate details, I aimed to reflect a sense of enduring beauty and the quiet strength found in nature’s simple wonders.”
