Feather # 212 — Magpie

“In this painting, I used deep indigo and rich cobalt to give a gentle yet striking contrast against the white background. My brushstrokes are light and flowing, capturing the delicate essence of the feather with subtle blurring and splatters that suggest movement and freedom. As I painted, I focused on creating a sense of harmony by balancing the boldness of the colors with the gentle curves and airy spaces, allowing everything to feel connected and complete.”
