Feather # 264 — Scarlet Macaw

“In this piece, I embrace the vivid spectrum of handmade pigment Rocky Mountain #5, with its luscious pinks and warm oranges creating a sense of joy and possibility. The dynamic brushstrokes and splatters transition seamlessly into softer blends, letting the feather float on the canvas with effortless grace. Through these choices, I aimed to evoke a sense of calm strength, inspiring personal introspection and the courage to follow one’s own path.”
