Cardinal ACEO in acrylics

So here is my next bird ACEO.  I just love the colour of this bird - so very bright. Could have done with the new brushes I have ordered when painting this one - hopefully they will  arrive next week.

Cardinal measures 2.5 x 3.5 inches and is painting on 300gsm smooth Arches watercolour paper.

Many thanks to Rodney Campbell for the reference photo.
