Winter Cardinal in acrylics

I have had this one on my list to paint for a while and with Christmas just around the corner, I thought it was rather an appropriate  one to paint.   Painting a red bird is always a bit tricky as you can't really use white to lighten areas. I ended up using quite a few glazes to get the depth to the feathers.


Winter Cardinal measures 5 x 5 inches and is painted on Ampersand Gessobord Panel.

For something different, I painted this little landscape scene.  I  used a flat brush for about 99% of the painting which worked rather well.
