King Cardinal

 

Northern Cardinals are a perfect combination of style and attitude, so I wanted to paint one as the royalty that it behaves as. They are pretty territorial in nature too so it is very fitting. This painting with a Christmas palette is all about showcasing that regal character of Northern Cardinal, nestled between the pine needles and hawthorne berries.

 

This is an original mixed media painting on white colored handmade paper, with gouache, embroidery threads and beads . The size of the painting is approximately 5" x 7" and is mounted in a float frame. The overall size of the frame is approximately 6"x8". It comes varnished with 2 coats of Krylon Kamar spray varnish to ensure protection from sunlight over time. 

 

The frame is handmade in my home studio from pinewood and has a double coat white acrylic paint and clear water based varnish. It comes in two parts that are attached with screws on the back. If ever need be, the painting can be detached from the outer frame by removing the said screws. 

Artist's signature with the date on the side and back of the frame.

PS: The last video is to show the process of making the artwork
