Feather # 67 — Italian Bird Common Chaffinch

“In creating this painting, I blended gentle shades of blue and earthy browns, letting them softly merge like a calming breeze. The feather’s edges are delicately ragged, suggesting a journey through life’s ups and downs, while the light splatters and drips add an element of spontaneity and resilience. Through careful layering and fluid brushstrokes, I hoped to convey a sense of quiet strength and renewal.”
