Feather # 64 — Ringneck Pheasant

“As I painted this feather, I gently layered shades of ochre, rich brown, and hints of soft gray, creating a harmonious blend that shifts seamlessly from dark edges to lighter centers. I allowed the watercolors to drip and splatter, adding an organic unpredictability that brings the feather to life. In each stroke and transition, I aimed to echo the quiet bond we share with nature, inviting you to feel a gentle unity with something bigger than ourselves.”
