Feather # 256 — Duck

“In painting this feather, I chose soft, calming hues of teal and warm browns. I wanted to create a gentle transition between these colors, allowing them to flow into each other with ease, much like a gentle breeze. My brushstrokes are delicate and feathery, with subtle splatters giving a sense of quiet motion. As I painted, I felt a deep sense of release and clarity; the feather’s delicate form became a symbol of lightness and renewal for me.”
