This painting was done in early Decermber as a demo for our Cincinnati Watercolor Society. My Michigan friend, Lynne, took the photo and allowed me to paint from it. She's got a great eye for wildlife photography and has the uncanny ability of being in the right place at the right time for exquisite photos.I think the cardinal's looking for spring. It's sure been cold and wintery here all week, and I'd welcome a warm day. Don't think that'll happen for a couple of months.
Thank you so much, Lynne, for letting me use your photo.

So nicely moody! This little guy does look like he can't wait for some sunshine.
Happy 2009!!
Beautiful painting of the cardinal and I love the background.
this is beautiful Sandy, so lovely to see thanks!
Beautiful cardinal but I love the background most.
Just beautiful--I love how the bloom on the cardinal's chest suggests volume. And the background is amazing: I did a few cardinal pictures last month and was never happy with the background.
Thank you, everyone, for taking time to stop and leave a comment.
