Feather # 53 — Goose Shoulder

“In this piece, I chose soft blues and earthy browns to create a tranquil yet profound scene. The delicate transitions between the sky-like hues and the grounded tones evoke a sense of journey and transformation. I used gentle, flowing brushstrokes to shape the feather, allowing the edges to blur and seem almost ethereal, while the splatter and drip effects around it add a touch of spontaneity and life. This painting reflects a deep connection to nature and reverence for life’s quiet, meaningful moments.”
