Feather # 167 — Blue Jay

“In this piece, I chose a soft palette of blues and whites, creating a gentle interplay of light and shadow. I used delicate brushstrokes to shape the feather, allowing the colors to flow and blend seamlessly with touches of darker tones, adding depth and dimension. The little splatters and subtle drips convey a sense of quiet fluidity and gentle movement, inviting a sense of calm and clarity.”
