Feather # 211 — Red Tailed Hawk

“In creating this piece, I chose a palette centered around the earthy, warm tones of Rocky Mountain #5, a hand-made pigment that brings a natural richness to the work. The gentle transitions from deep browns to soft oranges reflect a journey of transformation, while the delicate edges and soft brushstrokes capture both grace and strength. Each splatter and drip is intentional, adding layers of texture that invite you to explore the subtle complexities and embrace the quiet persistence of nature.”  — Shayna, April 2024
