Cardinals have easily caught my attention ever since I was a little kid. That flash of red can’t help but make me look. So I paint a lot of them and enjoy every single painting. This one is a favorite since it is one of my multi-canvas creations. Instead of just painting on a flat canvas, sometimes I connect a few of them in interesting ways to create a more sculptural painting. The edges of each canvas continue the scene to the next canvas and it is interesting not only from the from but from the sides, too.

This is the original painting so there is only one.  It’s painted in acrylic and oil on three permanently attached and overlapping gallery wrapped canvases with painted edges to create a three dimensional effect.  The overall thickness of the overlapping canvases is 3”.   No framing is needed.   The size of this piece is approximately 21” x 24”.
