[WIP] A breath so tender

I painted "A breath so tender" to explore a quiet exchange between two people — one offering adoration, the other receiving it. I worked with palette-knife texture and deliberate brushwork to set the warm gold and vivid red faces against a cool, layered blue field. The peacock feather rests as a small symbol of lightness; a fine, wire-like filament of breath threads their mouths together.
