Feather # 95 — Northern Flicker

“In creating this piece, I chose earthy browns and soft pinks to represent both strength and grace. The feather’s form is layered with delicate watercolor transitions, while subtle splatters add an unexpected energy, symbolizing the quiet resilience within us all. As the brushstrokes flowed, I felt a sense of nurturing unfold, inspired to capture the gentle power that lies in every woman's heart.”
