Wde Nov.6-Cool Cardinal
Thanks for all the great refs, Alain! I haven't done a bird for awhile...one of my favorite subjects...so I just had to try the beautiful cardinal.
This is oil on 5x7 hardboard. Just having fun with colors and textures.
C&C welcome. Thanks for looking! 
Done at just under two hrs.
Close ups.

I am not surprised you picked this photo.
You made it look so real..... (I will try to paste it on the window to see how the female will react)

Beautiful work on the beautiful cardinal..
AlainJ Please don't do that. We had one who could see himself in the window at the office and kept hitting into the window until he had his beak bleeding.
