Feather # 249 — Red-tailed Hawk

“I carefully layered the earthy tones of handmade pigment Marshall Fire #1 to capture the soft intricacy of a single feather. The feather's dark spine contrasts with the softer edges where color gently fades, while subtle splatters and drips add spontaneity. As I painted, I felt a quiet rhythm emerge, the gentle flow and texture naturally creating that inner calm I love to share.”  — Shayna, September 2024
