Feather # 15 — Common Grackle

“In this piece, I embraced the gentle flow of watercolors, using soft beiges and grays with hints of orange to create a serene and natural feel. I focused on subtle transitions, letting the paint glide effortlessly with delicate blends and gentle drips to form a feather-like shape. Each brushstroke was intentional, creating a sense of simplicity and focus that invites calm and grounding.”  — Shayna, November 2022
