Feather # 20 — Owl

“I began this piece with deep indigo hues, allowing them to flow naturally into softer, lighter shades, creating a delicate transition that mirrors the fluidity of life’s journey. My brushstrokes are deliberately gentle yet assertive, capturing the intricate pattern of a feather—a symbol of resilience and potential. With subtle splatters and soft edges, I aimed to convey a sense of rising above challenges, much like the feather’s graceful, upward movement, representing strength and new beginnings.”  — Shayna, December 2022
