“In this painting, I used deep blues and rich greens to create a soothing yet powerful presence, working gently into the feather's form. The soft blending of these colors with delicate pink splatters adds contrast and depth, allowing me to effortlessly convey strength through subtlety. By incorporating fluid brushstrokes and wispy edges, I captured a sense of purpose and courage, whispering stories of standing firm yet gracefully adapting to life's challenges.”
