Feather # 220 — Wood Duck

$225.00

“In painting this delicate feather, I focused on capturing its lightness and complexity through soft earth tones that gently blend from warm brown to muted olive. I used a wet-on-wet watercolor technique to create smooth transitions and subtle textures, allowing the feather to feel both grounded and ethereal. The splatters and slight drips around it suggest a gentle release or a whisper of movement, inviting a sense of new beginnings and understanding.”  — Shayna, April 2024
