“Blue Jay”

I chose gentle blues and deep blacks to create a striking feather against the white paper, bringing a serene yet bold feeling to life. My brushstrokes are a mix of soft gradients and sharp lines, with delicate splatters and drips that suggest an effortless unfolding, reminding us of how beauty can emerge from simplicity. As I painted, I felt a sense of renewal, appreciating how the feather's upward movement symbolizes new beginnings and bright moments.
