Feather # 227 — Northern Cardinal

$225.00

“In this painting, I chose a soft, earthy palette with hints of vibrant red to draw the eye. The delicate feather is created with gentle brushstrokes, layering shades of gray and warm browns to capture its texture. The bold red at the feather’s tip contrasts with the subtle splashes and clean white space, suggesting lightness and unity. I wanted to express a feeling of peace and connection in its composition, bringing together different elements without overwhelming the senses.”  — Shayna, May 2024
