Feather # 38 — Green-Winged Teal Duck (male)

“I infused this painting with a delicate balance of cool greens and warm rust tones, handcrafted with my own pigment, Rocky Mountain #7. The fluid brushstrokes and gentle erosion of edges create a flowing harmony, while the subtle splatters suggest a quiet yet resilient spirit. In creating this piece, I aimed to capture a sense of strength and kindness, gently encouraging the viewer to embrace their own inner resolve and compassion.”
