Crimson Song: The Cardinal’s Call - Wings of the World Series

Crimson Song: The Cardinal’s Call – A Portal to Passion and Power

When I painted Crimson Song: The Cardinal’s Call, I was drawn to the energy and bold presence of the cardinal—its fiery red feathers, its unwavering stance, and the way it seems to command attention with both grace and intensity. This bird is a symbol of vitality, resilience, and the power of voice—qualities that resonate deeply in times of transformation.

Layering deep reds, burnt oranges, and rich turquoise blues, I let the canvas unfold like a story, each brushstroke carrying the essence of courage and connection. The gold accents whisper of hidden wisdom, a reminder that within each of us lies an inner spark waiting to be ignited.

This painting is more than an image—it’s an invitation. A call to embrace your passions, to speak your truth with clarity, and to stand firm in your own unique brilliance. The cardinal has long been seen as a messenger, a guide between realms, and a beacon of unwavering spirit.

Part of my Wings of the World series, Crimson Song embodies the heartbeat of nature—bold, alive, and eternally present. Let this piece remind you that your voice matters, your presence is powerful, and your journey is yours to claim.

Does this piece call to you? Let it fill your space with warmth, courage, and the unstoppable energy of the cardinal’s song.
