Feather # 127 — Blue Jay

“In this painting, I carefully blended deep blues and warm browns with gentle transitions to highlight the feather’s natural elegance. The soft, watery edges and delicate brushstrokes create a sense of movement, while the subtle layering adds depth and intrigue. Through this piece, I aimed to capture a sense of unity and a glimpse into the beauty of nature’s intricate design.”
