Feather # 76 — Lady Amherst Pheasant

“This striking feather from the Lady Amherst Pheasant showcases a stunning blend of deep greens and vibrant blues. I used layering techniques to create rich gradients, capturing the feather’s curve with soft, sweeping brush strokes. Notice the delicate splatters of paint that add an organic feel and suggest movement through the piece.

The dynamic flow and bold colors reflect a sense of inner strength and resilience, inviting the viewer to embrace their own journey with confidence.”
