Feather # 74 — Buteo jamaicensis

“In creating this painting, I carefully chose soft earth tones like browns and sandy hues to capture the delicate essence of the feather. The gentle transitions and light brushstrokes were deliberate, inviting a calming rhythm to the piece. Each layer was added with care, allowing the natural splattering and subtle drips to bring a sense of grounded reality, giving the viewer a chance to pause and simply be in the moment.”  — Shayna, June 2023
