Feather # 101 — Blue Jay

“In this piece, I chose soft shades of blue that flow seamlessly into subtle hints of gray and brown, creating a calming, nurturing aura. The watercolor’s gentle transitions and delicate splatter around the feather suggest a sense of new beginnings, like the promise found in nature’s cycles. My brushstrokes are light and fluid, guiding the eye along the feather’s length, suggesting an invisible path leading forward with quiet assurance.”
