Feather # 58 — Blue Jay

“In this painting, I used gentle shades of blue and gray to reflect a sense of calm and serenity. The soft, flowing brushstrokes and the delicate layering create a feeling of harmony, while the splatters and subtle drips add a touch of spontaneity. By blending the colors with careful transitions, I've aimed to capture a moment of simple elegance and clarity, bringing a sense of completeness to the viewer.”
