Birdsong often reveals a cardinal long before the bird itself comes into view. In this original heavy body acrylic painting, Canadian artist Jeff Dillon focuses on the quiet presence of a female cardinal resting among layered foliage, capturing the softer and more camouflaged side of a species usually recognized for its brighter counterpart.

If your ear is trained for the call of the cardinal, your eyes will follow their song and reveal their location. Often the calls are shared between partners, checking in on one another. Here we see a female cardinal, her colours make her the more camouflaged of the pair. She is patiently waiting for her partner to arrive. The surrounding foliage and soft natural tones allow the bird to settle quietly into the composition while subtle warmth throughout the scene creates a calm and intimate woodland atmosphere.
The accompanying Certificate of Authenticity is also hand-signed and numbered by the artist.
