Feather # 296 — Turaco

“In this painting, I let the gentle flow of watercolors guide the interplay between deep blues, vibrant greens, and a touch of burgundy at the tip, creating a seamless transition that feels alive. The delicate blending and subtle splatters add life, while the feather’s structure is both fragile and strong, capturing a sense of giving and receiving. With each brushstroke, I wanted to express a deep bond, much like how nature quietly shares its strength and grace with us.”
