Feather # 190 — Scarlet Macaw

“In this piece, I embraced rich reds and delicate blues, letting them flow freely to form the feather's graceful silhouette. I used gentle brushstrokes to create soft transitions and delicate blends, allowing the feather to seem as if it's caught in a breeze. The blue splatter suggests spontaneity and an upward movement, reflecting the idea of reaching beyond limits and embracing new beginnings.”  — Shayna, February 2024
