Feather # 151 — Blue Jay

“In this piece, I let the gentle washes of deep blues and soft grays flow across the paper, creating an intricate dance of colors that blend seamlessly into one another. The fine brushstrokes and delicate splatters bring a sense of movement and airiness, capturing a lightness similar to the feeling of letting go. By layering translucent pigments, I aimed to craft an experience that gently embraces and uplifts, inviting a quiet moment of reflection and harmony.”  — Shayna, December 2023
