Feather # 219 — Violet-tailed Sylph Hummingbird

“I chose deep purples and bright blues to bring these feathers to life, using gentle brushstrokes that let the colors flow and blend naturally. The soft edges and delicate splatters create a feeling of calm and movement, as if the feathers might lift with the slightest breeze. While painting, I felt an uplifting sense of letting go, capturing a moment that washes over you with refreshing clarity.”
