Feather # 134 — Black Swan

“In this painting, I chose deep blues and soft grays to craft the feather’s delicate texture, contrasting with the crisp white background for emphasis. I used loose, flowing brushstrokes to capture its organic shape, allowing the subtle splatters and drips to bring a sense of gentle movement and energy. By emphasizing the feathery softness and intricate details, I aimed to convey a sense of simplicity and intent, focusing on the quiet beauty that nature offers.”  — Shayna, November 2023
