Original Creation

Ms. Cardinal

Painted on a 9 x 12 hardboard using Liquitex Heavy Body and Heritage acrylics. The female has so many subtle colors she is a bit hard to capture without overdoing.

Gorgeous bird. Really nice work on the foliage too.

Your birdies are starting to look alive!

Thank you Helen. I've mostly painted in oils but working with acrylic for the birds. I have found it easier to multi layer in the foliage and bird with acrylic.

Thanks Bob. I think it's all about getting that reflection on the eye right! :o)
