Feather # 213 — Blue Jay

“In this painting, I embraced calming shades of blue and soft grays, merging them with delicate white to create a gentle transition along the feather. I used light, fluid brushstrokes to convey a sense of movement and freedom, allowing the colors to blend softly and naturally. The subtle splatters and a single blue droplet add spontaneity, inviting a quiet sense of solace and care into the viewer's heart.”
