Feather # 224 — Macaw

“I fell in love with the fluidity of blending colors in this piece, moving from a calming blue at the top to a fiery red and orange, capturing a sense of journey and transition. I used delicate, almost playful splatters and subtle drips to create movement and spontaneity, allowing each brushstroke to tell its own story. As I painted, I felt an intimate connection with the natural simplicity of the feather, and the vibrant colors spoke to me like a gentle whisper of life's experiences.”
