Feather # 178 — Owl

“In this painting, I've chosen a delicate palette with earthy browns and soft yellows, reflecting the essence of nature's subtleties using my hand-made pigment, Rocky Mountain #8. The feather's gentle gradients and flowing edges, alongside the playful movement of splatters and soft drips, capture a sense of fragile beauty and growth. Through these colors and techniques, I aimed to express a quiet journey of discovery and renewal, resonating with the changes and insights we experience in life.”
