“In this painting, I used soft blues and deep blacks to create a dreamy feather that gently dances across the canvas. By layering washes of color, I achieved smooth transitions that make the feather appear both delicate and strong, with splatters and drips adding a touch of spontaneity. The brushstrokes convey a sense of uplift and grace, capturing life’s gentle shifts and reminding us of the simple beauty found in nature's quiet moments.”
