Cardinal In Sumacs IV - Original Painting
About a year ago, cardinals started showing up a lot wherever I was. Cardinals have always been a challenge for me to get good reference photos of them to paint from, until now… It was as if they were beckoning me to paint them..! In this piece, I was drawn to the vibrant coloring of the cardinal against the muted landscape. This artwork would be perfect in the hands of a nature or wildlife lover, hiker, or birder!
The painting alone measures 7” x 14.” The painting is encased in my signature live-edge wooden frame. Framed oil painting dimensions are 9” x 15.5” Artist-crafted frame is made from weathered rescued slab wood, wood that is normally burned as sugaring wood or bonfires. Frame is finished in three coats of Vermont poly-whey varnish, a USDA certified biobased product. A Certificate of Authenticity is included with every original painting.
Pairs beautifully with available companion artwork, Cardinal I, II and III, seen here:
