Feather # 175 — Blue Jay

“In this painting, I used soft blues and gentle whites, blending them to capture the delicate beauty of a single feather. The transitions between the darker segments and the lighter, airy parts were achieved with a light touch and fluid brushstrokes, allowing for smooth edges and organic movement. Through this work, I wanted to express a sense of graceful transformation and the endless cycle of nature, inviting viewers to find peace and reflection.”
