Feather # 199 — Blue Jay

“I chose a palette of deep indigo and soft blue, allowing the colors to gently flow into one another, creating a soothing transition along the feather's curve. The brushstrokes are deliberate yet relaxed, capturing the essence of a natural, effortless grace. The subtle splatters and edges convey a sense of gentle motion and stillness, inviting reflection and calmness.”
