Feather # 164 — Screech Owl

“In this painting, I embraced the soft, earthy tones that hand-made pigment Rocky Mountain #5 offers, ranging from warm browns to dusky mauves, to give the feather a natural, grounded presence. The fluid transitions and gentle layering of watercolors highlight the feather’s delicate texture, while the subtle splatters and drips bring an organic, spontaneous energy to the piece. As I painted, I felt a soothing sense of clarity and strength, hoping it inspires the viewer to feel the same balance and resilience within themselves.”  — Shayna, December 2023
