Feather # 161 — Common Grackle

“I gently applied deep indigos and soft browns to capture the elegance of a feather, letting the colors flow naturally into each other with fluid transitions. Each brushstroke was deliberate, from the fine edges to the subtle splatters and drips, which imbue the feather with a sense of grace in stillness. I placed the small bee nearby to offer a touch of life and movement, suggesting a quiet reverence in the midst of simplicity.”
