Vertical Seascape with Solitary Seagull on a Wooden Piling

Full prompt

A vertical oil sketch in a 9:16 aspect ratio designed for a vertical social story, staging a contemplative coastal scene with layered vertical depth. In the lower right foreground, a solitary seagull rests atop a weathered wooden mooring piling, rendered with textured driftwood gray and pale periwinkle palette-knife marks. The bird is softly modeled in chalk white and dove-gray plumage, looking out toward the horizon. Across the lower and middle tiers, calm ocean water extends in broad horizontal strokes of mint green, pale azure, and faint blush pink. The entire upper half rises into an expansive, airy sky painted in blended washes of buttery ivory and pastel morning lavender, providing clean visual breathing space and an uncluttered background suited for vertical viewing while maintaining authentic painterly brushwork throughout.
