Feather # 290 — Peacock

“In this painting, I embraced the vibrant blues and earthy greens, using my hand-made pigment Rocky Mountain #5 to capture the essence of nature's wonder. The peacock feather comes alive with gentle transitions and fine, sweeping brushstrokes that suggest elegance and the circle of life. As I painted, I felt a connection to the ongoing cycles of nature, a reminder of constant growth and new beginnings.”
