Feather # 103 — Blue Jay

“In this painting, I used delicate shades of blue, blending them seamlessly with water to create a soothing, airy feather that feels almost ethereal. The brushstrokes are gentle yet deliberate, with a few playful splatters and drips that add a touch of spontaneity. As I laid down each layer, I aimed to capture a sense of freedom and clarity, hoping that it inspires a mindset of peace and fresh perspective.”
