Feather # 231 — Wild Duck

“In this painting, I carefully blended hues of deep blue and warm orange using my hand-made pigment, Rocky Mountain #5. The feather is elegantly divided by a soft, flowing transition between the colors, with delicate brushstrokes and touches of splatter that give it a sense of natural grace and resilience. I aimed to capture the essence of beginnings and connections, allowing the colors and forms to gently meld and reawaken the spirit.”
