“Blue Jay”

In this painting, I chose a soothing blend of soft blues and earthy browns to bring a feather to life on the canvas. My brushstrokes were gentle yet deliberate, using delicate washes to capture the subtle gradations and natural texture of each feather strand. The light splatters and drips around the feather suggest movement and energy, grounding the piece in simplicity while maintaining a focus that draws the viewer in, allowing them to feel anchored and aware in the moment.
