Feather # 19 — Wild Turkey

“This painting, inspired by the Wild Turkey, beautifully showcases warm browns and soft ochres, creating a natural, earthy palette. The layered washes highlight the feather's textures, with gentle transitions flowing from dark to light. I used a mix of fine brush strokes and deliberate splatters, giving it a dynamic feel, while the soft edges invoke a sense of grace and movement.

The simplicity and flow invite a meditative quality, encouraging a deep appreciation for nature's beauty.”
