Original artwork description:

In this oil painting I wanted to achieve a striking contrast between the ethereal and the vivid. In the upper part of the painting, a dreamy blue-purple sky peeks through, adorned with soft, billowing clouds in delicate shades of white and yellow. The clouds cast a tranquil atmosphere over the canvas. The celestial expanse creates a sense of serenity, inviting the viewer to pause and contemplate the beauty of the natural world.

However, it's at the lower part of the painting where the focal point emerges—a vibrant red cardinal bird, captured in bold and expressive brushstrokes. The cardinal, with its fiery plumage, comes to life in a flurry of wings and feathers. This avian presence injects a burst of energy and vitality into the scene, providing a stunning contrast to the sky above.

As if perched upon a whimsical dream, the cardinal hovers above a charming arrangement of illustrated branches. These lines, while maintaining an illustrative style, bring a touch of playfulness to the painting, as if the cardinal is the protagonist in its own storybook world.

The pic that shows the artwork framed is just a sample. The actual work is on an unframed canvas ready to hang.
