This is a beautiful painting. I like art. I adore my prized oil painting of my grandma. It's a special painting for me. It's got sentimental value.

I think, I can't watch this video ---> Van Dyck's 'Charles I' in 10 minutes | Art history | National Gallery:

The image is a vibrant, expressive painting of a person named Milina Sumathipala. She is depicted seated against a bright orange background, which contrasts with her deep blue attire. Her attire appears to be a sari, a traditional garment, and she is adorned with a gold necklace, adding a touch of elegance to her appearance. Milina's expression is lively and engaging, with a broad smile that conveys warmth and friendliness. Her arms are crossed casually in front of her, contributing to a relaxed demeanor. The painting is done in a bold, impressionistic style, with visible brush strokes and a rich color palette that adds depth and texture. The use of vivid colors like orange and blue creates an energetic atmosphere. The background features subtle patterns that suggest a textured surface, possibly a couch or chair, enhancing the intimate setting. Overall, the artwork captures both personality and mood, giving it an inviting and cheerful quality.

What I love about my grandma's painting, is that, when she was small, Milina, she fell on the ground, and hit her forehead, this scarred her physically.

It was not an easy to spot scar.

But when Puthula looked at the painting, she exclaimed, oh wow, you embossed her teeth.

Her sister, cousin Wagisha, pointed out, oh you have painted her forehead scar. It was subtly painted in.

A lot of things were hidden, they were hidden using clever brush strokes, so even my signature, you cannot really see it, unless you knew where to look.

What I love about this painting, is the scar. It's the 666 sign, I spent a lot of efforts to copy it right.

It's psychosomatic perhaps. Who knows? G-d? But for me, I believe it is my fortune.

Go in, and while you may pick anything you wish in the cave, you may pick the lamp only, and if my house was on fire, I'd pick this one object.

████ everything else, I want G-d's blessing.

Only i may buy and sell in this world i own.

The video frame is from YouTube, taken from a video titled "Van Dyck's 'Charles I' in 10 minutes | Art history | National Gallery" by The National Gallery. It shows a comparison between two paintings attributed to the renowned artist Van Dyck, illustrating his depiction of Charles I. On the left, one painting captures a regal figure on horseback, dressed in a richly detailed yellow outfit and a wide-brimmed hat, set against a dark, moody background. The right painting also features a mounted Charles I, with a more dynamic posture, against a brighter, more natural backdrop with blue skies and trees. This juxtaposition highlights different stylistic approaches and lighting techniques used by Van Dyck. The video is part of an art history discussion, as suggested by the caption: "Now this is a face-off, if you like, between the two leading schools of painting," indicating an analysis of artistic schools or styles. - Title: "Van Dyck's 'Charles I' in 10 minutes | Art history | National Gallery" - Channel / profile: "The National Gallery" - Site / app: "YouTube" - Captions / subtitles: "Now this is a face-off, if you like, between the two leading schools of painting"

The one on the left is a Rembrandt, one of my favorite Dutch painters, along with Johannes Vermeer, who were masters at painting light from flames or sun. I learn, Van Dyck's something else. Flemish or something, I don't really know. He's on the right.

I learn the royal nobility, love the ███████████████████████████████████████████████████whereas the mercantile, rich people prefer Rembrandt.

I am divided internally, I see myself as both. But I think, I'd mix it up.

I like my grandma painting, the face is seen as someone realist, if I use that word right, the arms inspired by Vincent Van Gogh, a bit of abstract impressionism, wavy colors, I like to mix it up.
