Feather # 24 — Blue Jay

“In creating this piece, I embraced the fluidity of watercolor, allowing the deep blues and rich browns to flow together, capturing the strength and grace of the feather. The soft transitions and delicate feathering strokes bring out an air of elegance, balanced by the bold splatters that suggest movement and freedom. I wanted this painting to reflect a sense of inner strength and clarity, a reminder that even the most intricate details can hold great power and wisdom.”  — Shayna, December 2022
