Quiet Time, Cardinal 7"x5" acrylic During snow storms the birds find refuge in the tree right by our front window. It gives me the chance to observe the birds up close without them being alarmed.
Pat....that is absolutely a beautiful painting! I love seeing Cardinals...we had a few of them nesting in our pine trees this summer and I tried my best to capture them with the camera....but only caught them with my own eyes!
My art is inspired by nature. I always had a love for the outdoors so it was just natural that my art followed that direction.
I paint both on location and in the studio. My outdoor work is necessary for capturing the different qualities of light and the ever changing moods of nature. My studio work is fed by all the information I get from painting outdoors, except now I have time to think and plan at a more leisurely pace.I head to the outdoors as a stress reliever and that is exactly what my paintings are about-a peaceful retreat from life’s hectic pace.

Pat,
I just love the rich color of the cardinal. I have seen a few here but they are dull in color compared to the ones back there.
