Feather # 97 — Northern Flicker

“In this painting, I played with earthy browns and soft beiges, contrasted by a vibrant pink line that runs through the center. The feather's edges are gently blurred, creating a sense of movement and grace, while the splatters and drips add a hint of spontaneity. As I painted, I felt a connection to nature and its gentle strength, aiming to capture a sense of resilience and warmth without needing words.”  — Shayna, August 2023
