Feather # 126 — Female Cardinal

“In creating this piece, I embraced the delicate dance of watercolor to shape the feather's ethereal form. The colors transition smoothly from soft grays to rich reds, creating a gentle yet striking contrast. I allowed splatters and drips to find their place naturally, capturing a sense of movement and subtle guidance, as if whispering the quiet strength of following one's own path.”  — Shayna, November 2023
