“In this piece, I used soft shades of gray and subtle blacks, letting the watercolor wash create gentle transitions and delicate layers. The feather's organic curve represents nature's endurance, while the soft speckles and fluid splatters convey a sense of quiet strength and growth. I feel this painting quietly speaks of life's potential and the enduring spirit found in nature's simplest forms.”
