Feather # 77 — French Eurasian Collared Dove

“I'm drawn to the soothing transition of soft grays and whites in this painting, where the gentle curves of the feather contrast with the delicate splatters and drips that suggest a sense of movement and lightness. The layered brushstrokes create depth, inviting one to explore the subtle blends and edges that define its form. As I painted, I felt a quiet determination to capture both fragility and resilience, allowing the art to reflect a deeper understanding of simplicity and elegance.”  — Shayna, June 2023
