Feather # 192 — Great Horned Owl

“In this painting, I embraced the delicate interplay of muted grays and soft browns to create a feather that seems nearly weightless against the white background. The gentle splatters and subtle drips bring an unexpected energy, capturing the natural elegance and persistence found in simple, yet elusive, forms. With each brushstroke, I aimed to convey a sense of quiet determination, reflecting how even the lightest things can move forward with purpose and grace.”  — Shayna, February 2024
