Feather # 257 — American Crow

“In creating this piece, I chose a gentle yet bold palette of grays and blacks, letting the feather’s form emerge softly from the white background like a whisper of nature. My brushstrokes transition from solid to feathery, giving life to the shape and conveying a sense of nurturing and growth. The subtle splatters and delicate drips around the feather suggest movement and direction, symbolizing the quiet strength and gentle wisdom that guides us forward.”
