Cardinal in Holly by TerryXart

Description

Eh...there is probably not much interest in this type of art here but I recently restored my old hard drive that crashed a while ago and found this oil painting I did of a Cardinal in a Holly Bush. It took me forever to complete but it did win several awards in a couple of art shows...so...I thought some people may enjoy it. Oils on hard canvas board. Original size is 12 x 9.

Thank you so much for the kind feedback! I really appreciate it!

Heathere on September 13, 2008, 2:21:22 PM

This is very nice piece of art work. I really love the results of Oil Painting. I've always wanted to give it a try too, but people say it's hard to deal with and it takes days to dry...

All that old fashioned art back in the centuries looked so good in oil painting, and ... it's just a great media that I absolutely love!

You did a very good job on this! :D Do keep up the good work!

TerryXart on October 3, 2008, 9:23:35 AM

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. I really appreciate it! Yes, there is nothing like the beauty of oil paintings but IT IS a pain to work with. That's why I don't paint very often. This small painting took me months to complete but I guess it's worth it in the end. You should definitely try it when you get the chance. Thank you again!

BadArtist on September 14, 2008, 1:34:06 AM

This art belongs anywhere! I love cardinals, they're my state's bird and my team's mascott! (Go Louisville!)

no really, great work;P

TerryXart on October 3, 2008, 9:20:56 AM

Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate it! I am still surprised that people found this painting interesting. I am very honored! Cheers!

Thank you very much!

Madonna on October 2, 2008, 12:34:02 PM

Oils cool, kinda looks like colored pencils in this quality. But I guess I can see it now, nice job on the leaves. I love oils!

TerryXart on October 3, 2008, 8:59:20 AM

Yeah, my scanner is not very good and sometimes reads the texture of the paper or canvas more than the brush strokes. But this is all oil paint done with very tiny brushes. Maybe that's why it looks like pencil? But, yeah, the scanner really picked up the hard canvas texture...oh well. Thank you for the feedback! Cheers!

flameingfox2 on September 16, 2008, 7:31:07 AM

nice its my state bird and its rely good

TerryXart on September 23, 2008, 9:26:01 AM

Wow..thank you so much. I really thought no one would be interested in such a boring subject but I started getting all these comments. I discovered Fanart Central featured it and I was very surprised! Thank you again!

Arby1055 on September 23, 2008, 8:21:47 PM

Tinner1214 on September 19, 2008, 5:27:50 AM

Wow. Great for canvas... I always thought that computer graphics had better possibilities, but you proved me wrong.

TerryXart on September 23, 2008, 9:23:40 AM

Thank you for the feedback. Yeah...we sometimes forget the powers of "real life" pencil, ink or paint. Art programs are great too but the human touch can never be duplicated. Cheers!

hakutheblindedsoul on September 19, 2008, 12:09:10 PM

Wow,that's really beautifull! XD

TerryXart on September 23, 2008, 9:20:59 AM

Thank you so much for your kind feedback! I really appreciate it. The texture you see is the canvas board. Cheers!
