Feather # 56 — American Woodcock

“As I painted this feather, I let the soft grays and gentle browns flow across the paper, blending into each other like cherished memories. I used delicate, sweeping brushstrokes to convey lightness and warmth, with soft edges and subtle transitions creating a sense of gentle touch. The tiny splatters and natural imperfections invite you to feel a quiet harmony, echoing how we find beauty in simple, kind moments.”
