“In this painting, I poured my heart into capturing a feather with gentle hues of teal and earthy browns, blending softly to convey a sense of gentle embrace and nurturing. The delicate brushstrokes, flowing outward from the feather’s spine, suggest movement and grace, while the occasional splatters and drips add an element of spontaneity, amplifying its natural beauty. I aimed to create a feeling that resonates with warmth and connection, invoking a sense of calm presence and serene tranquility.”
