About: This painting has a feeling of isolation. Being alone with a bird with nothing but gray skies, and land. The colors are muted in this one. I wanted it to feel cold, like winter; yet, warm to the heart because of the close relationship you see between the girl and bird.
I finally edited the video so you can see me paint her. This is one of those paintings that took a few months to finish. I wasn’t working on it every day, but I kept getting stuck, and didn’t know how to proceed. That usually doesn’t happen to me because I like to paint a painting in one sitting, but for some reason I didn’t know what to do with this one.
