Feather # 71 — Blue Jay

“In this painting, I used delicate shades of blue and earthy browns to create a soothing feather that feels both fragile and strong. The gentle transitions and soft blends reflect the flowing nature of life, while the careful layering and wispy edges suggest a gentle breeze carrying a memory. Each subtle splash and drip is a testament to my belief in the unexpected beauty that life brings, even as it whispers stories of times past.”  — Shayna, May 2023
