The oil painting of two seagulls resting on the beach after a storm is completed. After viewing this original oil for a while I decided that the painting needed better color. I then changed the overall color of the painting from a yellow base to more of a mauve color. The shadow colors are now leaning toward the violets and mauves with occasional highlights in those colors too.

Adding More Detail
After making the color changes I then added more detail to the painting. The seagulls have more detail on their feathers and head area. After I was happy with those changes I then went to work on the beach sand area. There was considerable seaweed, shells and rocks that had washed up on the beach after the storm so I added more of them in the foreground. I added a one larger seashell among the seaweed with sand and pebbles in the foreground.
