“In this piece, I embraced the soft gradients of fiery reds and warm oranges to bring the feather to life, letting the colors merge fluidly. I used gentle, elongated brushstrokes that naturally taper off, giving the feather an ethereal quality. The hints of earthy browns at the base ground the composition, while the occasional splatter adds a touch of spontaneity, encouraging a sense of calm and connectivity to the natural world.”
