Feather # 170 — Blue Jay

“I painted this feather using cool blues and blacks, allowing them to bleed and fade into the white background. The soft transitions and delicate layering of watercolor create a sense of lightness, while the bold strokes and splatters suggest strength and movement. As I brush each stroke, I feel a deep connection to the idea of rising against challenges with grace and determination.”  — Shayna, January 2024
