“As I painted this feather, I chose a gentle palette of soft purples and warm browns that melt into each other, like the sky at dusk. Using delicate watercolor washes and intentional splatters, I allowed the colors to blend and flow organically, creating an edge that feels both tender and strong. This piece reflects a journey of becoming, capturing the quiet strength and discoveries that unfold naturally with time.”
