Feather # 262 — Scarlet Macaw

“In this piece, I embraced warm tones of orange and soft, muted browns to bring out a gentle harmony. The transitions flow from bold, fiery strokes at the feather's tip to delicate, almost ethereal wisps at its base, creating a sense of balance and tranquility. By letting the colors gently blend and allowing small splatters and drips to dance around the main shape, I aimed to express a sense of wholeness and insight that draws the viewer into a moment of reflection.”
