Joyful Cardinal

4x4 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper, a sheet I used underneath smaller works. After a careful pencil sketch of the cardinal, I used three red and red-orange hues of paint and a mixed black for his mask. Lots of fun to paint these imaginary scenes with birds. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

Cardinals always seem like Christmas to me. Maybe it is the red. This is beautiful.
