Feather # 251 — Snowy Owl

“I infused this painting with a harmonious blend of earthy hues, using my hand-made Marshall Fire #1 pigment to create a muted palette of blacks, grays, and soft golds. Each brushstroke is deliberate, with sharp edges transitioning into delicate wisps that evoke a sense of gentle movement and purposeful direction. The feather-like design, accented with subtle splatters and drips, captures a natural elegance that suggests a journey forward, inviting the viewer to reflect on the paths they choose to follow.”
