February Cardinal

5.5x5.5 watercolor on Arteza 110 lb. cold press paper done over the weekend from one of my male cardinal photos. This guy is one of two I've seen in the backyard and more often now I'm scattering seed for them all. Too cold to hunt for ordinary food. COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

A Christmas Card a Day

9 3/4 x 7 inches watercolor, drawn with watersoluble pencil, using a tiny artificial red feathered cardinal I found in the craft section as a model. Christmas Cardinal is happily skipping along on this Black Friday anticipating the good sales and bargains. A card a day is a project challenge Stephie has set for us from now till 25 December, and I've only done two so far of the kitten and bird. They can be any size but must be watercolor of any subject suitable for holiday cards.
