Feather # 223 — Shanahan Ridge Fire

“In this painting, I carefully used soft browns and muted grays to craft a feather that seems almost alive, with each brushstroke capturing its gentle grace. The delicate transitions from dark to light create a sense of rising and soaring, while the subtle splatters and drips suggest movement and freedom. As I painted, I felt a quiet but profound sense of strength in the simplicity, inviting viewers to find beauty and possibility in unexpected places.”
