Feather # 86 — Red-tailed Hawk

“In painting this feather, I chose earthy browns and soft grays to create a sense of warmth and familiarity. The gentle transitions between colors were achieved by layering watercolors delicately, letting them bleed naturally to form the feather’s curves. My brushstrokes are light and fluid, with slight splatters around the edges, suggesting tiny fragments of memories drifting softly through time.”  — Shayna, July 2023
