Balance.

Jill (Photographer): Backyard birds are often overlooked. But many, like this cardinal, are simply spectacular, miraculous stunning specimens. Everyday/urban wildlife is so accessible that we almost don’t see them in many cases. Because they are so abundant, it’s an opportunity to really learn about a specific animal and its behaviour through close observation. Learning about their behaviour helps a photographer understand and plan, as much as is possible, how to compose images. Cardinals are well loved birds. Often associated with connecting to people who’ve passed. They are abundant and familiar here, yet if you’ve ever met someone who doesn’t live where Cardinals roam, it is magic to witness them see one for the first time. A remarkable bird that we’ve come to take for granted. *I feel the same way about racoons. Literal pandas roaming our streets and we barely raise an eyebrow!

Jade (Artist): I wanted to take a completely different approach with this piece, and highlight the long wire our bird sits on with a 12 x 60 inch canvas. I created an abstract textured background, to ensure the painting didn't feel too heavy on the side with our bird. I loved using precise brush strokes and detail and bright reds, organs and maroons to capture the depth of this beautifully striking cardinal.
