Feather # 231 — Wild Duck

“In this piece, I embraced the deep, soothing blue and warm earthy tones of my hand-crafted Rocky Mountain #5 pigment to create a gentle yet striking transition from top to bottom. The delicate layers and soft, flowing brushstrokes capture a sense of freedom and grace, while the subtle drips and splatters add a touch of playful spontaneity. Painting this, I felt a wave of calm determination, an unspoken connection with the strength and beauty I see in each of us.”  — Shayna, July 2024
