Chickadee Radiance

A black-capped chickadee perches delicately among slender dark branches covered in white pussy willow buds, centered in the upper third of the composition. The background features a dreamy bokeh effect with soft, luminous orbs of light in muted teal, taupe, and warm blush tones that create an ethereal glow. The palette is predominantly neutral — charcoal, warm grey, and cream — with the stark black-and-white bird serving as the focal point. The mood is peaceful and contemplative, evoking early spring stillness. Moderate complexity with detailed bird rendering and repetitive bud work across elegant, sweeping branches.
