Feather # 199 — Blue Jay

“I carefully chose a palette of deep blues and crisp whites to create a soothing balance, allowing the feather to stand out boldly against the simplicity of the background. With each brushstroke, I focused on gentle transitions and soft blending to capture the delicate nature of feathers, while the splatters and drips add a spontaneous energy that invites viewers to pause and connect. As I painted, I felt a deep sense of calm, knowing my intuitive approach would resonate with anyone seeking a moment of quiet reflection.”  — Shayna, March 2024
