Feather # 153 — American Kestrel

“I poured my heart into this piece, capturing the delicate beauty of nature using softly blended earth tones and cool greens. I embraced gentle transitions and layered the colors carefully to suggest the feather’s graceful arc, letting watercolors flow freely to create a sense of movement. My brushstrokes are intentional yet fluid, illuminating a harmonious interplay that draws the viewer in and encourages a moment of reflection.”
