Great Blue Heron  — Feather #218

“I painted this feather using a soft blend of earthy browns and gentle greens, letting the colors transition seamlessly from the robust base to the delicate tip. Each brushstroke was intentional, with fine edges that capture the feather's elegant strength. The subtle splatters around it represent unexpected challenges, yet the feather stands tall, symbolizing the quiet power we all possess to rise with grace and determination.”  — Shayna, April 2024
