"Winter Couple" female and male Cardinal

This couple is in my yard all winter.  My lovely neighbors feed them.  I tried a feeder but the squirrels tore it up almost immediately and that was the end of that.

Male Cardinals have quite a sharp call and I can always tell when they are in the hedge directly below my window.  I often try to sneak a peek but if they see any movement, they are gone.


"Winter Couple"
Each is 6" x 6" oil on gessobord, unframed.

Crocus in Snow

After my own long Winter's Nap (which I needed after 30 paintings in 30 days!) I thought of Crocus.  We don't have a lot of snow any longer but it's still rather cold.  Even so, I saw new buds of grass peeking out in the yard, and I'm beginning to get cabin fever.  The Crocus in my yard should start coming out soon and it's always a pleasure to see them.  The squirrels dig them up and plant them in other places, so I'm always surprised wherever I see them.
