“In this painting, I gently layered cool blue tones to capture the essence of a feather, allowing the color to transition softly from the center to its fringed edges. The delicate brushstrokes create a sense of movement and life, with subtle splatters and drips adding a touch of spontaneity. Through its interconnected strands, the feather communicates strength and cohesion, reminding us that we can hold together beautifully despite our intricate fragility.”
