Feather # 180 — Owl

“I created this piece with a deep appreciation for the delicate harmony of nature, using a palette of earthy hues mixed from my hand-made pigment, Rocky Mountain #8. The feather's form is captured with soft, flowing brushstrokes that transition seamlessly from the deep grays to the gentle browns—each edge and splash bringing life to its texture. Through careful layering and the delicate blend of colors, I aimed to reflect a sense of respect and grace inherent in the simple yet profound beauty of our surroundings.”
