Feather # 153 — American Kestrel

“In this painting, I used warm earthy tones blending seamlessly into soft greens to create a sense of balance and warmth. I worked with gentle transitions and layering techniques to give the feather an airy, ethereal look, while the delicate splatters and light brushstrokes add a touch of spontaneity. Through thoughtful blending and movement, I aimed to convey a sense of open-heartedness and welcoming energy.”  — Shayna, December 2023
