Feather # 161 — Common Grackle

“In this painting, I chose soft blues and warm browns to create a gentle transition between the calming feather and the lively bee. The watercolor technique allows for delicate blends and subtle drips, adding a natural fluidity to the piece. Through the harmony of these colors and the graceful curves of the feather, I aim to evoke a sense of comfort and renewal, inviting a moment of quiet reflection.”  — Shayna, December 2023
