Feather # 151 — Blue Jay

“In this painting, I embraced delicate shades of blue and black, allowing them to flow and merge seamlessly, creating a soft yet striking transition. The feather's shape, highlighted by gentle splatters and drips, suggests movement and lightness, like a gentle breeze carrying it forward. Through this piece, I aimed to capture a sense of grace and quiet strength, inspiring feelings of uplift and kindness.”
