Great Blue Heron  — Feather #146

“In creating this piece, I embraced a rich emerald green for the feather, allowing the color to deepen and flow into lighter shades at the edges, highlighting its graceful form. I utilized gentle brushstrokes to give a soft texture, maintaining smooth blends that transition into delicate splatters and drips of earthy browns, capturing a sense of freedom and resilience. Through the feather's gentle curves and vibrant hues, I aimed to reflect not only beauty but also the strength that lifts it effortlessly into the air.”  — Shayna, November 2023
