Feather # 187 — Scarlet Macaw

“In creating this piece, I chose a vibrant palette of reds and oranges, blending into gentle pinks, to inspire feelings of warmth and renewal. The feather's form is captured with fluid brushstrokes, tapering into delicate edges that suggest a gentle motion. By allowing the paints to drip and splatter, I embraced the unpredictability of watercolor to convey a sense of freedom and the beauty of new beginnings.”  — Shayna, February 2024
