“In this painting, I used soft gradients of deep blues and gentle gray washes to create a sense of quiet strength. The feathery brushstrokes are delicate yet firm, capturing the essence of gentle resilience. As I painted, I felt the quiet whisper of steadfastness in the cool, layered tones, with splatters that suggest the unpredictability and protection found in nature's embrace.”
