Description
This painting is based on the original photograph 'Beautiful Lady - Female Northern Cardinal', by Cindy Treger, whose express consent has been requested to use it as a reference.
The original photo can be found here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/beautiful-lady-female-northern-cardinal-cindy-treger.html
The northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) is a North American bird. It is found in woodlands, gardens, shrublands, and swamps of southern Canada, through the eastern United States from Maine to Texas and south through Mexico. The name of this cute North American songbird refers to the cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church, who wear distinctive red robes and caps, although the description only fits the male.
The female is fawn, with mostly grayish-brown tones, but she also sports a sharp crest and warm red accents on the wings and tail feathers.
During winter, both male and female will fluff up their down feathers in order to trap warm air next to their body and keeping cold air from reaching their body, and also take turns tucking one leg at a time into their body to keep them warm while still using the other to stand.
As a curiosity, the female Northern Cardinal is one of the few female North American songbirds that sing, and she does often while sitting on the nest. Another curious detail is that the female is fed by the male as part of the courtship behavior.

Aberjhani's Official Postered Chromatic Poetics
This sublime celebration of the female cardinal's generally-understated beauty evokes for me a sense of the regal femininity some women command as a natural quality of their being. The textured monochromatic background is a kind of masterpiece all by itself and the overall composition makes for a thrilling painted meditation on grace. Deepest gratitude for the sharing.
