Feather # 221 — Bald Eagle

“I painted this feather using gentle washes of soft grays and muted creams, allowing the colors to blend seamlessly into each other, creating a sense of weightlessness. My brushstrokes are delicate and intentional, capturing the feather's intricate textures and subtle shadows with a few light splatters and watercolor drips that add a touch of spontaneity. Through this piece, I aimed to convey a feeling of gentle reflection and tranquility, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the simple beauty of life.”
