Feather # 246 — Black-capped Chickadee

“In this piece, I brought the feather to life using soft transitions of charcoal blacks and warm earth tones created from my hand-made Marshall Fire #1 pigment. I used gentle brushstrokes to capture the delicate edges and natural flow, allowing some splatters and drips to hint at spontaneity and movement. This painting represents a connection to something greater, inviting viewers to find their own sense of peace and clarity.”  — Shayna, September 2024
