Feather # 95 — Northern Flicker

“In this piece, I chose warm earth tones to capture the quiet elegance of a single feather, letting the rich browns flow seamlessly into each other. I carefully layered delicate washes of watercolor, allowing subtle drips and splatters of soft reds to whisper stories of the past around it. My brushstrokes are gentle yet deliberate, creating a soft blend that feels like a cherished memory—something familiar and grounding.”  — Shayna, August 2023
