Feather # 287 — Blue Jay

“In this piece, I embraced soft blues and deep blacks to play with contrasts and evoke gentle emotions. The feather's delicate form is captured with a mix of smooth transitions and bold brushstrokes, giving it both a softness and a striking presence. Each drip and splatter around it adds movement, suggesting cherished memories and shared moments that linger like a whispered promise.”  — Shayna, November 2024
