Feather # 172 — Kestrel

“In this piece, I embraced a soft palette with subtle earth tones, crafted from my own hand-made pigment Rocky Mountain #5. The airy transitions and gentle blending capture the delicate yet bold essence of nature, while the fluid strokes and sporadic splatters suggest movement and transformation. Through this painting, I aimed to convey a sense of nurturing and new beginnings, inviting a deeper connection with the natural world.”  — Shayna, January 2024
