Feather # 222 — Scarlet Macaw

“I chose vibrant greens, deep blues, and rich reds to breathe life into the feather, with colors blending smoothly into one another like nature's own transitions. The gentle flow of my brushstrokes creates a sense of movement, while the splatters and subtle drips capture moments of spontaneity and strength. As I painted, I felt the bold hues showcasing the power of standing tall amidst the chaos, offering a glimpse into the strength and clarity we all possess.”  — Shayna, May 2024
