Feather # 93 — Common Grackle

“In this piece, I chose earthy tones of deep browns and soft grays, delicately blending them to create an elegant feather that seems almost alive. The intentional drips and splatters mimic nature’s imperfections, while the fluid brushstrokes suggest a gentle breeze, creating a sense of grace. Each stroke was purposeful and, though subtle, evokes a quiet strength and timeless beauty, much like the delicate balance we often seek in our lives.”  — Shayna, July 2023
