Feather # 186 — Northern Flicker

“In this piece, I wanted to capture the gentle grace of a feather using soft hues of purple and pink. By layering translucent watercolors, I achieved a seamless transition, allowing the colors to bleed into one another softly, mimicking the natural beauty of a feather's fibers. The light splatters and delicate brushstrokes bring a sense of rhythm and harmony, inviting you to feel a sense of peaceful connection and gentle awareness with nature.”
