Feather # 289 — Blue Jay

“In creating this painting, I use soft blues, deep indigos, and light washes of teal to convey a sense of grace and gentle strength. The feather, with its subtle, fluid transitions and delicate splatters, signifies the delicate yet resilient nature of living things. With each brushstroke, I layer and blend to evoke a feeling of breaking free, much like the lone bee hovering beside it, ready to take on the world with quiet confidence.”  — Shayna, December 2024
