Feather # 80 — Red-tailed Hawk

“In this watercolor piece, I carefully chose subtle earthy tones, blending soft browns and grays with delicate transitions to capture a feather's gentle essence. I used light, sweeping brushstrokes to create a sense of grace and movement, allowing splatters and drips to suggest the feather's quiet journey through air and time. As I painted, I felt a deep connection to the hidden stories of perseverance and whisper-soft guidance that feathers symbolize, and I hoped to bring that emotional depth to life for you.”
