Feather # 43 — Blue Jay

“I used soft blues and gentle pinks, blending them delicately to create a feather that seems to float with grace. Each brushstroke was applied with care, allowing the colors to bleed and mingle, forming a sense of gentle perseverance in its fragility. As I let the paint flow and drip, I felt a quiet reverence for the beauty in strength and vulnerability combined.”
