Winter Ember Fine Art Giclée Print

A bright red cardinal disrupts the quiet stillness of a monotone winter landscape, its vivid color a striking contrast against the cold. This fine art print captures both the delicate realism of the bird and the expressive energy of abstract marks layered over it—part of an ongoing exploration blending precision with spontaneity.

This piece is the first in a series where I experiment with drawing realistic subjects in colored pencil before layering them with bold, abstract marks in marker, paint, or ink. The result is a dynamic interplay between form and expression, structure and movement.

For the past few years, a resident cardinal pair has lived near my home, and their presence always lifts my spirits, especially on a wintery day. This artwork is a tribute to their cheerful aspect and the unexpected joy they bring to the season.
