Feather # 229 — Barn Owl

“In this watercolor, I embraced warm, earthy tones—soft browns and oranges—to bring a gentle warmth to the piece. The delicate transitions and layering with light brushstrokes created a feather that feels both fragile and resilient, as if it's gently swaying in the breeze. The subtle splatters and drips add movement, suggesting a connection to something greater, while the soft edges invite a comforting reassurance.”
