“In creating this piece, I chose to use a palette of deep browns mingling with vibrant reds to bring the feather to life, using gentle transitions and subtle layering to reflect its delicate structure. Each brushstroke captures the soft texture and graceful contours, while splatters and drips add a sense of movement and vitality. Through this painting, I'm expressing the quiet strength and quiet giving of nature, capturing moments of quiet grace and resilience without needing words.”
