Feather # 266 — Magpie

“In creating this feather, I immersed myself in the soothing transition of deep blues and lush greens, allowing them to echo nature’s tranquility. With delicate, fluid brushstrokes, I focused on soft blending to capture subtle movement, while the gentle splatters and drips add an element of spontaneity. As I layered each hue, a quiet strength emerged, reminding me of the resilience found in simplicity and grace.”
