Cardinal in Blue, acrylic on panel by Sue Betanzos.

The bright red male cardinal on aqua blue/green has real garden leaves pressed in gold for a natural touch.

I love watching birds and cardinals are always a favorite.
In the wild, their bright red feathers actually blend in well with green leaves due to the similar values of green and red. It’s easy to find them by their distinctive calls.
