Feather # 247 — Golden Pheasant

“In this piece, I used hand-made pigment Marshall Fire #1 to create warm, earthy tones, alive with rich, organic depth. The gentle transition from the soft, creamy edges to the bold, delicate splatters reflects a seamless journey. My brushstrokes are intentionally fluid, allowing the feather's form to dance upward, revealing a quiet strength and a soft determination that feels like a whisper growing into a confident song.”  — Shayna, September 2024
