Feather # 75 — Goldfinch

“In this painting, I let warm earth tones of golden ochre and deep browns flow freely, creating a gentle dance across the canvas. Using soft brushstrokes, I layered the colors carefully, allowing them to bleed naturally, forming delicate transitions that mimic the soft, natural contours of a feather. Each stroke and splatter was a step in trusting my instincts, giving the piece an organic, grounded energy that feels both dynamic and serene.”
