Watercolor painting of a Bluejay feather.

Feather # 289 — Bluejay

“I chose a palette of soft blues and deep indigos, allowing each shade to flow gently into the next, creating a calming yet vivid contrast. With delicate brushstrokes and subtle splatters, I infused the feather with a sense of lightness and motion, capturing its grace and spirit. Through this painting, I aimed to remind us of nature's quiet strength and the endless possibilities that come with each new day.”
