Feather # 42 — Peacock

“In this painting, I used soft blues and vibrant greens to create a gentle yet striking peacock feather, with rich earthy browns grounding the piece. The varied brushstrokes flow gracefully to capture the delicate movement of each fiber, while the splashes of blue add a spontaneous touch, reflecting life's unexpected beauty. As I painted, I aimed to convey a sense of calm awareness, encouraging viewers to reflect on how we perceive and share insights with each other.”
