Feather # 166 — Kestrel

“As I painted this feather, I chose soft hues of blue and earthy browns, letting them gently blur into each other. The transitions are smooth but purposeful, with delicate brushstrokes that almost seem to breathe. I enjoy how the subtle splatters and drips give it a natural elegance, inviting a sense of calm reflection and gentle assurance in its simplicity.”
