Feather # 55 — Peacock

“I painted this peacock feather using soft earth tones and subtle washes, capturing both the intricate details and graceful movement of each strand. With delicate transitions between earthy grays and muted yellows, I focused on layering and blending to bring out the natural elegance of the feather. I let the gentle splatters and drips suggest a quiet strength and discovery, inviting anyone who gazes upon it to feel a sense of quiet wonder.”
