Feather # 288 — Great Horned Owl

“In creating this piece, I embraced the warm, earthy hues of the hand-made pigment Rocky Mountain #5. The soft transitions between the rich browns and delicate creams highlight the feather's intricate texture, giving it a lifelike movement that feels both delicate and steady. My brushwork is gentle yet intentional, with subtle splatters and blending at the edges to evoke a familiar sense of calm and kinship, inviting you into a quiet world of shared understanding.”  — Shayna, December 2024
