Feather # 36 — Barn Owl

“In this painting, I used soft, earthy tones of brown and muted purples to create a sense of calm and warmth. The gentle blends and subtle transitions between colors reflect an understated complexity, representing both the delicacy and strength I see in nature. I chose careful yet spontaneous brushstrokes and allowed the paint to drip and splatter, creating a lively yet serene movement that speaks to the nurturing spirit and forward-thinking that resonates deeply within me.”
