Feather # 73 — Blue-winged Teal / Duck

“I wanted to capture a sense of quiet strength in this painting, using soft blues and earthy browns to evoke a feeling of gentle resilience. My brushstrokes flow with a free, almost poetic movement, blending colors seamlessly where they meet to symbolize harmony and balance. The subtle splatters and delicate edges suggest both fragility and endurance, reminding us of the inner power that each of us holds.”
