Red Bird


While I was visiting North Carolina, this female Cardinal would perch herself outside and look in the window. It was like she was wondering why we were there. I really think she was looking at her reflection in the glass, worried that another bird was going to get into HER bird feeder.
I just had to paint her. I had the picture, so I didn't want to make her realistic, so I put a little weight on her and a little bit serious, had to put her bird feeder in there too..
Vertical lines dominate (echoing shapes) in this painting, so it is nice to see a horizontal.
