Feather # 24 — Blue Jay

“In creating this piece, I embraced the soothing blues and earthy browns, allowing the colors to bleed into each other with gentle brushstrokes, evoking a sense of unity and flow. The central feather shape, with its delicate edges and subtle drips, captures a moment of tranquility and introspection. Through my technique, I aimed to draw the viewer into a deeper connection with the quiet strength and beauty within us all, without uttering a word.”
