Painting Overview

Birds have a bunch of advantages over other inhabitants of the planet. For example mobility and the ability to fly.
But there are also disadvantages. Deeply, I did not delve into this. Maybe there are not so many. But here’s the question that arises when I see any bird. Why are you so tense? Why is your look full of anxiety, and your facial expression betrays your insecurity and nervousness?

Not so simple in the bird kingdom.

I still paint my oil paintings on canvas. Using all sorts of tricky methods of applying paint. But it’s interesting to you.

I put all my energy into my paintings. I try to fill them with harmony and positive to the brim.

I do not always succeed, but I always work on it.
