Little Cardinal - Day 1, 30/30 Challenge

"Little Cardinal"  8x6 oil

It's been way too long since my last post, so I'm attempting to do the 30 Paintings in 30 Day's challenge hosted by Leslie Saeta again to get back into painting mode.  Although to be honest with all that is going on around me I will be happy to do 15!  

Inspiration for cardinal was from a photo my good friend took at her heated birdbath last year when I painted Bluebird & Winter Bird.

I will probably soften up the background on this one and work on a few more things as I notice them....getting back into the groove isn't easy!

Day 6 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Day Challenge hosted by Leslie Saeta.

This cute little Winter Bird - a female Cardinal was taken by my friend

Melissa Kangas.  She and her husband Pat are avid nature lovers so they

put a heater in the birdbath for the feathered critters.  

I loved this picture not only because it was a cute bird but the misty quality of the scene.
