Feather # 52 — Roseate Spoonbill

“In this painting, I delicately used soft pastels of peach and gentle greys to create a soothing transition from the feather's quill to its tip, capturing a sense of lightness and serenity. My brushstrokes are light and airy, with subtle splatters and drips, symbolizing moments of spontaneity and unexpected beauty. As I painted, I aimed to create an image that provides a sense of peace and reassurance, like a gentle touch or a comforting whisper.”
