Feather # 50 — Blue-and-Yellow Macaw

“In this piece, I embraced the interplay of vibrant yellows and deep blues, allowing them to dance across the feather's form. The soft transitions and delicate layering create a sense of harmony, while the splatters and drips add a touch of spontaneity. As I painted, I felt a wave of calm precision, knowing that the gentle contrasts and flowing shapes capture a feeling of steadiness and gentle unfolding.”  — Shayna, March 2023
