Feather # 116 — Guinea Fowl

“In creating this piece, I was moved by the simplicity and grace of a single feather. Using my hand-made pigment, Rocky Mountain #6, I layered soft blacks and subtle earth tones to bring out its natural beauty. The gentle transitions and delicate splatters convey a sense of resilience and connection, offering a comforting reminder of life's delicate intertwinings.”
