Feather # 176 — Barn Owl

“I'm drawn to the delicate balance of earthy tones in this feather—the warm browns and subtle hints of muted purples softly flow over the paper, each blend represents a story of endurance. The gentle, almost fluid brushstrokes create a wind-kissed effect, with slight splatters and drips capturing moments of unyielding spirit. As I spread the colors, I see the feather as a symbol of both frailty and strength, much like the incredible journeys we all undertake.”  — Shayna, January 2024
