cardinal


I get alot of cardinals in my yard. They are so lovely. The striking red color of the male bird. They love when I put out cantulope seeds for them. I painted the cardinal perched on the pine branch. On the branch I painted some of the snow writers paint. If you click the photo it may show up better for you . Just to give the branches a snow effect. The red I painted with is engine red and then added brown for the shading effects on the wings and tail of the bird. I mounted the painting onto a red card. I'll probably stamp a setiment in the upper right corner. As I'm posting this it's a 80 degree day,but snow will be coming soon to Illinois.
