Feather # 239 — Green Jay

“I chose a soft palette of greens and blues for this piece, letting the colors gently fade into one another to reflect a sense of tranquility. By using fluid brushstrokes and subtle layering, I aimed to capture a graceful, flowing quality that feels light and airy. The gentle splatters and delicate edges create a sense of calm movement, inviting the viewer to take a deep breath and appreciate the quiet beauty of this moment.”
