Original artwork description:

This original oil painting captures the striking image of a bright red cardinal perched on a snow-laden pine branch. The bird's vivid crimson feathers glow against the soft blues and whites of a winter landscape, creating a stunning focal point that radiates warmth and life. Its alert posture and curious gaze suggest a fleeting pause in the quiet stillness of the season.

I was inspired by the cardinal’s symbolism — often seen as a sign of hope, vitality, and resilience during the darkest months. In the depths of winter, their appearance is like a spark of fire in the cold, a reminder of life’s persistence. I wanted this piece to celebrate that contrast and offer a moment of bold beauty to the viewer.
