“In this piece, I used soft blues and earthy greens, letting them bleed into one another to create a delicate and fluid transition. The feather's shape naturally leads your eyes, while the subtle splatters and drips suggest vitality and energy. I focused on making the feather's central stem strong yet gentle, symbolizing nurturing potential and reverence, and I find joy in capturing life's quiet strength with gentle brushstrokes.”
