“In this painting, I explored the gentle transitions and delicate layering to capture the essence of a feather with my hand-made pigment Rocky Mountain #5. I used soft browns and muted blacks to create a sense of warmth and subtle movement, while the clean edges and flowing shapes invite a feeling of gentle guidance. Each brushstroke and splash brings out a quality of reassurance and newfound understanding, which I hope you can feel as you engage with it.”
