Feather # 61 — Golden Pheasant

“I used warm, earthy tones to create a gentle transition from deep sienna to soft ochre, capturing the delicate yet bold essence of a single feather. With light, flowing brushstrokes and subtle splatters, I aimed to show both fragility and strength, layering the colors to bring out the feather's intricate texture. My intention was to evoke a feeling of quiet endurance, reminding us of the beauty in standing tall amidst life's quiet challenges.”
