Feather # 45 — Pheasant CU Buffs

“In creating this piece, I used soft, earthy tones of black, brown, and gold to capture a sense of natural beauty and warmth. The gentle transitions and delicate layering reflect the tenderness and care woven into each brushstroke. The feather's elegant form seems to reach upward, whispering stories of resilience and nurturing growth, while the splatter techniques add a touch of raw, primal energy that reminds me of life's continuous cycle and the strength found in giving and renewal.”
