The Company We Keep

This piece felt playful from the start — like a group with very different personalities all trying to share the same space. Each bird seems to have its own attitude: one curious, one cautious, one chatty, another just going along with the group. Together they create that familiar dynamic we all recognize — whether it’s friends, family, or coworkers — where everyone brings something different but somehow it works.

The soft, colorful background adds a sense of energy and movement, almost like the conversation continues beyond the branch. To me, this painting is about connection, individuality, and the humor that naturally comes from being together. It feels lighthearted, social, and full of personality.
