Feather # 230 — Blue Jay

“In this painting, I chose soft blues and delicate greens to capture a sense of calm and strength. The feather, with its gentle transitions and layered shades, represents a quiet yet unwavering strength, while the careful splatters add a touch of spontaneity and life. The bee subtly enhances this scene, symbolizing joyful work and harmony in the natural world.”
