Feather # 209 — Turkey Vulture

“In creating this piece, I embraced the natural elegance of the feather, using gentle yet confident brushstrokes to evoke a sense of calm and reflection. The earthy tones of the hand-made pigments, Rocky Mountain #5 and #6, blend seamlessly, creating soft transitions that mirror the quiet beauty of nature. I allowed the splatters and subtle drips to express an organic flow, fostering a meditative ease and contemplation, softly whispering to the inner spirit.”
