Feather # 201 — Banded Kingfisher

“As I created this painting, I focused on capturing the gentle beauty of a single feather using my hand-made pigment, Rocky Mountain #6. The soft blues and earthy browns transition naturally, blending seamlessly where the brush barely touched the paper. The delicate splatters and subtle drips give it a sense of serene motion, while the carefully layered dots invite your mind to wander and reflect.”
