Feather # 194 — Blue Jay

“In this piece, I chose a serene palette of soft blues and earthy browns, using my cherished hand-made pigment, Rocky Mountain #6. I enjoyed playing with the delicate transition from the cool, soothing blue to the warm, grounding brown, layering them with gentle brushstrokes that merge seamlessly. The fluid splatters and delicate feather shapes I created provide a natural rhythm, capturing a peaceful harmony that resonates deeply.”
