Feather # 139 — Female Cardinal

“In this painting, I chose soft pinks and earthy browns to create a sense of gentle strength, like a feather that stands its ground despite its delicate form. The brushstrokes are fluid and graceful, allowing colors to bleed and blend seamlessly, adding a dynamic movement that feels both tender and powerful. Each layer and splash reveals an inner fortitude, reminding me that beauty often comes from overcoming challenges with grace.”  — Shayna, November 2023
