Feather # 127 — Blue Jay

“In this painting, I used deep indigos and warm browns to create a sense of calm and reliability. I let the watercolor flow naturally, creating soft transitions and delicate drips to mimic the gentle strength of the feather. Each brushstroke is intentional yet free, capturing the fluid movement of nature, while the layering adds depth and subtlety, inviting you to believe in what you can't always see.”  — Shayna, November 2023
