First Dance Feathers
48” x 36” oil on canvas $1200
There’s a split-second decision you have to make. Walking into the first dance wearing a hand-me-down feathered dress with a voice in your head saying you should have tamed your hair. And now you have to decide how you entertain that thought. The lights find you. and the feathers feel like they are fluttering in your stomach now.
And that second, that second shapes you.
You decide. You stand tall. You say in your heart and to yourself “this is a time for wild hair and feathers under lights”.
You look to find the girl who has her eyes cast down and looks to have doubts just like you just did and you smile at her and tell her how great she looks. This shapes you.
This night you silence what needs to be silenced and lean into kindness and generosity brought to you by first dance feathers.
