Feather # 279 — Wood Duck

“In this painting, I chose a muted palette of deep greens and soft grays to create the feather, allowing the colors to softly blend and transition with gentle brushstrokes. The sharp edges contrast with the delicate splatters and subtle drips, while the blue accents add a lively touch, evoking a sense of calm and intention. I let the feather's shape flow naturally, capturing its grace and significance, hoping to convey a feeling of connection and individuality for everyone who views it.”  — Shayna, November 2024
