Feather # 295 — Macaw

“In this piece, I let deep blues and rich reds flow together, creating a striking convergence where light and texture meet. The feather's graceful shape rises simply yet boldly, while subtle splatters and lines trail off, suggesting the unexpected paths life can take. Using both delicate brushstrokes and purposeful drips, I aimed to capture a sense of strength and harmony, inviting viewers to find beauty in life's many layers and transitions.”
