“I chose to work with a rich, earthy palette using my hand-made pigment, Marshall Fire #1, lending the painting a warm, grounded tone. The feather comes alive with its gentle transitions and subtle blends—each layer is deliberately placed with soft, sweeping brushstrokes. As I delicately splatter and drip the paint, I'm reminded of how life’s trials, while challenging, lead to deep understanding and quiet strength.”
