Feather # 39 — Blue Jay

“In creating this feather painting, I chose deep blues and soft grays to dance across the paper with gentle transitions and layers, creating a soothing contrast against the crisp white background. My brushstrokes are delicate and purposeful, allowing the feather's natural beauty to flow effortlessly while incorporating splatters and drips to evoke a sense of life and movement. As I painted, I focused on capturing a quiet elegance and a timeless presence that I hope resonates with everyone who views it.”  — Shayna, February 2023
