Feather # 280 — Hummingbird

“I chose a rich palette of deep blues and earthy browns to create a feather that feels both delicate and grounded. I carefully layered the colors, allowing them to blend softly and bleed naturally, creating a sense of life's gentle movement. With each brushstroke, I wanted to capture the essence of timelessness and respect, using splatters and drips to add an element of freedom and intentional imperfection, reminding us of the beauty in the natural world.”
