This painting and the female cardinal piece are companion pieces, in both cases I chose to use a simpler, cleaner design, nothing complicated in the layout so its a calm and relaxed. The background is a cool shade of winter gray so the red male cardinal will really pop off the page. The focus of this painting is the male northern cardinal and it is detailed and realistic. He sits calmly on a uncluttered brown branch. Image Size: 8" x 8" Each print is hand signed.
