Feather # 173 — Kestrel

“In creating this piece, I carefully chose soft hues of earthy green and gentle amber, letting each color bleed and blend with the other like a gentle dance. The feather is formed through delicate, sweeping brushstrokes, capturing a sense of tenderness and new beginnings. With its subtle transitions and light splatters, I wished to evoke the gentle unfolding of something precious and ever-evolving.”  — Shayna, January 2024
