Feather # 222 — Scarlet Macaw

“In this piece, I used a vibrant palette of greens, reds, and yellows to create a feather that speaks of resilience and connection. Each brushstroke is layered gently, allowing the colors to transition smoothly, while splatters and drips add movement and energy. I aimed to capture the idea of strength and togetherness, showing how elements can blend beautifully while maintaining their unique character.”
