Feather # 16 — American Bittern

“As I painted this feather, I carefully chose soft purples and gentle pinks, allowing them to flow freely into one another, like a whispering conversation. My brushstrokes are delicate and airy, capturing a sense of calm in every gentle stroke and subtle transition. I wanted the feather to convey a sense of peacefulness, as if it's gently floating on a quiet breeze, soothing and comforting anyone who observes it.”
