Feather # 154 — American Kestrel

“In this piece, I chose soft blues and earthy browns to create a gentle interplay that feels both soothing and grounded. The watercolor transitions are smooth, yet purposeful, with edges that suggest a feather-like softness, letting the colors bleed and mingle naturally. As I layered the paint, subtle splatters and drips added a sense of spontaneity, while the central stem provides a grounding shape that draws the eye, creating a harmonious interaction between movement and stillness.”  — Shayna, December 2023
