Feather # 25 — Pheasant

“I chose soft, muted colors for this painting, letting gentle blues and delicate pinks blend seamlessly into each other to create a sense of calm yet resilient energy. My brushstrokes are light and intentional, emphasizing the feather's elegant form with subtle transitions that lead your eye along its graceful lines. Through this simple yet striking composition, I aimed to capture the quiet strength and resolve this feather symbolizes, showing how beauty and strength can coexist in a natural and unassuming way.”
