Watercolor painting of a Owl feather.

Feather # 273 — Owl

“In creating this piece, I let my brush dance softly with earthy tones from my hand-made pigment, Rocky Mountain #6. The feather's gentle textures emerge through a delicate blend of browns and blacks, with subtle transitions that seem to whisper stories of the past. Each splatter and drip adds layers of experience, while the soft edges guide the eye down the feather’s curve, evoking a quiet strength and calm presence that feels like an old friend.”
