Feather # 134 — Black Swan

“This painting, inspired by the elegant Black Swan, showcases deep indigos and soft grays, layered to create a rich sense of depth. The delicate brushstrokes convey the feather's texture, while gentle blends and splatters of aqua add movement. The feather's shape is fluid, capturing both grace and strength in its natural form.

The interplay of shadow and light suggests a nurturing embrace, evoking a sense of shelter and the promise of new beginnings.”
