Feather # 125 — Pheasant

“I poured my heart into this piece, using the hand-made pigment Rocky Mountain #5 to capture the warm, earthy tones that flow through the feather's structure. The delicate transitions and subtle layering speak to an inner strength, while gentle brushstrokes and splatters reflect a spirit that refuses to be subdued. As I worked, I felt a quiet assurance in my ability to transform simple pigments into something that speaks to the enduring nature of triumph and perseverance.”  — Shayna, November 2023
