Murder of Crows measures 12" x 14" and is crafted with gouache. This piece captures a serene yet dynamic sunset over the ocean. The gradient transitions from a deep blue ocean at the bottom to bright oranges and yellows near the middle, depicting a sun dipping below the horizon. Above, the sky shifts into lighter blue hues, suggesting the last moments of daylight. Silhouetted birds fly across the colorful expanse, adding movement to the calm scene. The rough paper edges contribute a rustic and raw touch.

The inspiration behind this artwork was my interest in experimenting with gradients. The process involved exploring smooth transitions between colors to convey a peaceful yet vibrant atmosphere. Unlike my past works, where detail and symbolism took center stage, this painting focuses on the simplicity and elegance of nature’s color shifts.

Murder of Crows represents a departure from complexity, embracing the beauty found in fading light and subtle transitions.
