Feather # 131 — American Woodcock

“In this painting, I embraced the fluidity of watercolor to create a feather that feels both grounded and ethereal. The deep blues and warm browns blend seamlessly, with delicate transitions that suggest subtle movement. The intentional splatters and drips add a sense of spontaneity, echoing life’s unpredictability while the feather’s upright stance hints at a journey toward wisdom. Through these choices, I aimed to evoke a sense of connection and inner peace.”  — Shayna, November 2023
