Fledgling 

"Fledgling" is a hyperrealistic painting by Canadian artist Sarah Joncas (b. 1986), depicting a young woman with a feather in her hair, turned away from the viewer with a thoughtful expression. The composition is balanced by the subtle curves of the woman's body, the delicate flower stems and the dark, swirling background. The artist's use of light and shadow emphasizes the smooth lines of the figure and gives the work a dreamy quality. Joncas's work often explores themes of nature, youth and transformation, and "Fledgling" is a powerful example of her ability to capture the fleeting beauty of human life.
