Feather # 170 — Blue Jay

“In this painting, I let serene blues and soft whites flow together, using gentle brushstrokes to create the feather's delicate texture. The subtle transitions and splatters around the feather suggest gentle motion, inviting a sense of calm and wholeness. Balancing the intense colors with soft, airy spaces, I aimed to evoke a feeling of tranquility and renewal in the viewer through my work.”
