Feather # 228 — Swallow-tailed Kite

“I used soft earth tones like burnt sienna and olive to create a warm, comforting feel in this piece. My brushstrokes are delicate yet intentional, allowing the feather to gently unfold against the canvas, while subtle splatters and wisps speak to its fragility. Each transition from deep hues to lighter shades holds a story, reminding us of nature's whispers in the quiet moments of our lives.”  — Shayna, May 2024
