Feather # 58 — Blue Jay

“In this painting, I chose a delicate mix of soft blues and deep blacks to capture the essence of a single feather. Using gentle, flowing brushstrokes, I allowed the colors to bleed subtly into each other, creating smooth transitions that speak to the grace of nature. The intricate layering and the occasional splatters mimic the effortless movement of the feather, giving it a grounded yet airy feel that draws the viewer in.”  — Shayna, April 2023
