Feather # 118 — Blue Jay

“I poured my heart into creating this piece, using the hand-made pigment, Rocky Mountain #6, to capture the delicate interplay of soft blues and earthy browns. The brushstrokes flow from dark to light, with subtle transitions and gentle splatters that mimic the organic beauty of nature. Through this feather, I hoped to evoke a sense of deep reflection and connection to something quietly profound.”  — Shayna, October 2023
