"The Birds have been Singing to me" Oil Painting Process | My First Diptych

hiiiiiii! This painting is called "the birds have been singing to me" it's an oil painting on panel measuring 26.5x37.5 including the frame. This was my first diptych and I'm so happy with how it turned out. The original reference for this painting was a photo I had taken a few years ago of a seagull. I really liked the composition of the photo but wanted to add something a little more colorful and fun to it. This painting will also be included in Moon Rise Gallery's "moon" themed showing running from June 6th-July 27th! I hope you enjoy this video! I put a ton of work into making the painting as well as the video, and I hope it shows! Hopefully all my rambling makes some sense :) thanks so much for reading and watching this! I love ya and hope you have a wonderful day!

I like how bold your strokes are! Lots of impasto paint which gives the piece a lot of texture

This was so cool to watch! I loved seeing you use the end of the brush to outline and also the swirls in the sky were a beautiful touch. These are fun full of life.
