Feather # 283 — Turkey

“In creating this piece, I chose a soothing palette of deep blues and earthy browns, letting them softly blend and bleed into each other to capture the delicate essence of the feather. The splatters and drips of blue provide a sense of lightness and spontaneity, while the fine, textured brushstrokes mimic the feathery details, inviting a closer look. As I painted, I felt a gentle shift within—like the feather, embracing the journey of growth and self-discovery.”
