Watercolor painting of a American Kestrel feather.

American Kestrel  — Feather #109

“I brought this feather to life using the soft, earthy hues of my hand-made Rocky Mountain #7 pigment. I carefully layered gentle blues and browns, letting them blend into one another with a few drips and splatters for texture, symbolizing life's ability to adapt and transform. I love how the feather's delicate edges and wispy lines tell a story of strength and clarity, capturing the essence of what it means to stand firm yet change with the wind.”  — Shayna, September 2023
