Feather # 299 — Golden Eagle

“In creating this piece, I chose a palette with my hand-made pigment, Rocky Mountain #5, which blends earthy browns with soft, subtle tones to evoke a sense of warmth and natural grace. I used gentle transitions and delicate brushstrokes to guide the eye along the feather's curve, balancing the soft splatters and drips that suggest movement and life. Each thoughtful stroke and layered edge invites a deeper sense of understanding and reflection, as if the feather whispers shared secrets on a quiet journey.”
