Whispering Wings
by Briana Ariel

Using digital soft pastels on digital paper, Briana Ariel's "Whispering Wings" captures the quiet beauty of a butterfly in flight. Ariel chose monochromatic pastels because they bring that dreamy quality butterflies have when they float through gardens.

The title came from how the piece feels like a gentle conversation rather than something that demands attention. There's something peaceful about butterflies that makes you want to slow down and really look. This artwork tries to capture that quiet moment when you spot one and everything else seems to pause.
