I decided to move away from the cute bunnies for a few days to give my hand another try at painting a bird. Some of you might even remember my English Robin just a few months ago.
Not many are spotted around where I've currently made my "home" but can they be found back home in Ohio pretty much everywhere. At least that's what I remember from growing up. Anyway, he's not bad, ey? :)
P.S. Oh and how about my NEW website header?! :)
P.P.S. I'm on Twitter now! Follow me here.
Happy Friday!

so so cute... we have had our leopard tree full of rainbow parakeets for the last week and they have brilliant red chests like your bird... I am rubbish at painting animals, so all your lovely illustrations are making me a touch jealous... xx
ReplyDeleteSuch vibrant color palette ... so energetic!
ReplyDeleteLove your new header!
ReplyDeleteLovely painting!!
Wonderful Cardinal! They visit us frequently (though very infrequently in winter) and I love hearing their song. Can't wait to Spring to see more. Yours is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLoving your pretty bird. Happy PPF, x

what a brilliant painting Sophia!!!! love this!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see one of these cardinals in my garden. However, we might not get these cheeky fellas but we do have plenty of robins. There is a tame one in my parents' garden that takes food from their hands.
ReplyDeleteThe robin's adorable. And I'd love to see more bird paintings. Maybe we could have an animal-themes Sunday Sketches!

He's so cute and fluffy looking. They are such cheery birds, aren't they? It's like they were made specifically to brighten up winter.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little fellow;he's adorable and lovely in his perfect shade of red feathered coat. One heavenly creature to watch for ;we never miss them when they visit our garden ; )
