Feather # 35 — Blue Jay

“In this piece, I used soft, muted blues and grays to create a sense of tranquility and gentle movement, reminding us of the quiet elegance of nature. The feather's delicate edges are achieved with careful layering and subtle water effects, allowing colors to bleed naturally and create a soothing visual rhythm. As I painted, I felt a profound connection to the simplicity and grace that can be found in both art and life, hoping to share that sensation with you.”
