Feather # 169 — Kestrel

“I crafted this painting with a soothing blend of earthy tones, using my hand-made pigment, Rocky Mountain #8, to capture the organic essence. The gentle transitions between soft browns and greens are punctuated with delicate splatters and subtle drips, creating a sense of gentle flow and natural movement. With each brushstroke, I felt a quiet strength, like a whisper from nature, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the intricate ties that bind us to the world around us.”  — Shayna, January 2024
