Feather # 245 — American Goldfinch

“In this piece, I carefully applied the handcrafted Marshall Fire #1 pigment to capture the organic transitions of gold and deep charcoal. Using delicate brushstrokes, I created soft blends and gentle edges, while allowing subtle splatters and drips to introduce a natural movement. Through this process, I aimed to capture a sense of connection and clarity, reflecting how individual elements can come together seamlessly to form something beautifully harmonious.”
