“In this painting, I used earthy browns and soft creams to create an uplifting contrast, expressing warmth and tenderness. My brushstrokes move gently from the feather’s tip to its soft edges, achieving a delicate balance through subtle layering and fluid transitions. The feather’s grounded stability and slight imperfections remind me of how we hold steady amidst life’s changes, quietly giving and receiving in equal measure.”
