Feather # 28 — Pheasant

“In this painting, I chose soft earth tones, blending gentle peaches and creams with deep charcoal accents to evoke a sense of nurturing and hope. The delicate feather, with its seamless transitions and intricate layering, creates a graceful sense of movement, guiding the viewer through a journey of renewal. My brushstrokes were light yet purposeful, allowing tiny splatters and drips to dance freely around the feather, symbolizing life's potential and the unseen paths before us.”
