Holiday Cardinal – Cardinal 2

This scratchboard artwork features a bold cardinal perched on a branch, looking to the right. The bird’s vibrant form is captured with strong, precise lines that emphasize the sharp angles of its feathers and the intensity of its expression. Surrounding the top of the image, holly leaves and berries are boldly etched, adding a striking, seasonal touch. The tree, with its branches extending from the left, serves as a subtle backdrop, while the cardinal and holly dominate the scene, creating a lively and dramatic winter composition.
