Feather # 91 — Great Horned Owl

“In creating this piece, I embraced the soft earth tones of hand-made pigment Rocky Mountain #7, balancing gentle browns and blues with subtle hints of gold. I worked to let the colors flow, using light brushstrokes and airy layers to evoke a sense of harmony and perseverance. Each splatter and drip was carefully placed to show the flowing connections of nature and spirit, bringing the work together in an organic way.”
