“This painting captures the elegance of a Red Shoulder Hawk feather with soft grays and gentle creams using hand-made Moab Pigment #1. The transitions between dark and light are seamless, showcasing layered washes that give a sense of depth. Splatters around the feather add a subtle energy, while the clean edges highlight its graceful shape.
The feather embodies a connection to the natural world, suggesting a journey shaped by resilience and shared experiences.”
