Feather # 229 — Barn Owl

“In this painting, I embraced earthy tones, letting the warm oranges and browns gently transition into soft greys and hints of olive. The feather, with its delicate brushstrokes and splashes, seems to float, a blend of precision and freedom. By allowing subtle splatters and drips, I aimed to capture a sense of life’s unpredictability, encouraging a quiet strength in the face of change.”  — Shayna, May 2024
