Feather # 57 — Blue Jay

“In this painting, I carefully chose soothing shades of blue with gentle browns to capture a feather's delicate grace. I used soft, layered brushstrokes to create a sense of lightness, allowing the watercolors to blend naturally and create a calming flow. By incorporating subtle splatters and drips, I aimed to reflect nature's gentle power, offering a feeling of comfort and reassurance.”
