“In creating this painting, I embraced the gentle dance of grays and soft blacks against the white background, letting the feather take center stage. I used delicate brushstrokes and subtle layering to capture the intricate patterns and natural curves, allowing the delicate transitions and soft, blurred edges to reflect a sense of quiet assurance. The gentle splatters and drips add movement and spontaneity, inviting a feeling of calm predictability and warmth, like a gentle whisper from nature.”
