About the Item
This painting is striking. It's used of mixed media with rich red paint and equally rich gold leaf color brings the piece alive. This was painted on canvas. The bird silhouettes are red oil paint, while some have a film of gold leaf over top. This helps make the birds feel somewhat distant.
