Oil on 7x5 hardboard.This is my contribution to this week's DPW Challenge. This is the Outside Your Window Challenge presented by Ann Feldman .
This is a frequent flyer to the bird feeder just outside my studio window. As I paint or browse on the puter, I can watch all the action from the diners. This handsome cardinal and his mate are regular daily guests. I have actually observed the male feeding a seed to the female on a couple of occasions! Ain't love grand

Really charming, Dean. Thanks for sharing with us!
ReplyDeletehi dean,what a gorgeous cardinal.the background is great too.wonderful work. take care ben.
ReplyDeleteThis is outstanding! I always marvel with your masterful way you paint with such vibrant colors. Love the cardinal couple story too!
ReplyDeleteI never can decide which I think is more beautiful, the cardinal or the blue jay. Both are exquisite and I get so excited every time I see one or the other. Your cardinal is just beautiful Dean. Of course, you know I'm a huge fan of your work anyway; I already own two pieces!
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteOMG, he is so real and exotic, wish I could paint like this.
ReplyDeleteA big "thumbs up" on this cardinal. Love the way the color sings set off by the deeper, darker areas. Nice work!
