Cardinal and Sketchbook Page
Hi, I've been working on my cardinal, I'll brighten his red some more with glazing but am trying to allow the background to show thru. I think this makes him more interesting.
I'm showing you one of my sketchbook pages. I love feeding the birds and squirrels and any needy critter, when it's cold and they can't find as much food. It's so funny to see the squirrels sitting in the pumpkin feeder swinging and eating peanut butter and raisin sandwiches.. Provides giggles and ideas! Thank you for all your lovely support!stay warm, Diana
Diana gorgeous your cardinal. Beautiful.

The cardinal is looking great--I love the detail on his wing feathers, and his face is perfect. I like the background showing through too--you know I am a big fan of your backgrounds!
