Had a lot of fun painting this 'in-you-face-Cardinal'. Can't you just feel he's going to get his way.....or else! While painting "Red" I kept looking at my two earlier bird paintings; felt they needed just a touch of something to jazz a smidge. I found a couple new photos of Blue Winged Warblers - they vary quite a bit from head to toe. So I selected a more chiseled profile and like it a lot better. The bottom painting - notice there are are a couple brush strokes of blue in the shadows (we all enjoy a touch of make-up now and again)and I smoothed out his toupee a bit. The highlights were too white before. You can compare these with my last post. I think the changes show of their personality a bit more.
