Watercolor painting of a Pheasant feather.

Feather # 94 — Pheasant

“In this piece, I used my hand-made pigment Rocky Mountain #7 to bring out earthy tones that flow gently across the canvas. The feather's soft, muted browns and greens are delicately layered with splatters and subtle drips, creating an organic transition that feels both grounded and free. With every brushstroke, I aimed to convey a sense of quiet strength—a reminder of our ability to rise above and find balance in the midst of life's complexities.”
