Feather # 165 — Bufflehead

“In crafting this painting, I chose a palette of soft earth tones—gentle browns and deep greens—to create a soothing sense of balance. I allowed the colors to blend naturally on the canvas, using a delicate touch to create smooth transitions and ethereal edges, capturing the essence of a gentle feather. The careful layering and subtle drips suggest movement and quiet strength, inviting you to find serenity and gentle guidance in its presence.”
