Watercolor painting of a Peacock feather.

Feather # 183 — Peacock

“In creating this piece, I used a palette enriched with my hand-made Rocky Mountain #5 pigment, capturing a myriad of blues and greens that gently flow into each other. The delicate brushstrokes and soft transitions between colors highlight the natural beauty of the feather, while subtle splatters and drips add a sense of gentle movement and free-spirited energy. This painting reflects my humble yet confident approach, inviting a moment of calm and introspection, as it softly echoes the rhythm of change.”
