Feather # 12 — Wild Duck

“In creating this piece, I played with earthy browns and soft blues to bring the feather to life, embracing gentle transitions and subtle textures. The delicate brushstrokes flow effortlessly, framing the feather's natural curves and soft edges, while the layering adds depth and a sense of gentle progression. As I painted, I felt a comforting sense of embracing life's moments, reflecting how each step forwards carries its own quiet strength.”  — Shayna, November 2022
