This is a lovely work in mixed media art. The birds do stand out well against the well chosen background colour. You have framed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good luck in the contest!

Feels like winter to me . The background sky , the trees , the Cardinals they all say winter and snow isn't far behind. Center of interest is there and holds the eye. Good job !

This is a truly lovely.
Reminds me of my moms childhood home, they have lots of cardinals there.
You've done a wonderful job with the trees, and the birds, spot on.
Thanks for sharing.

Great job! I know exactly what you mean! I live in Asheboro, North Carolina in the country. Cardinals are so fun to watch. They do puff up their feathers just like that when it gets cold. You've captured that Beautifully! I recognized that look immediately lol ;) Great Color Harmony and Detail! Excellent Framing and Background! Terrific Point of View! Strong Initial Impact! Great job Overall! Thanks for Sharing your Talent and Best of Luck with the Contest ;)

    Thank you so very much. I was worried that they might be too fluffy!
reply by Lisa M. on 16-Sep-2017
    Even in person they look over fluffy lol I think that's what makes them look so interesting!

Beautiful painting of these colorful and handsome birds. Both birds have good placement to the left and right of the canvas. The very cool blue color in the background and the very light tree branches puts me in the mind of winter. Nice contrast to the brightly colored birds. Great attention to detail and excellent visual impact. Well done. ~Alveria
