A male and female Cardinal on a bare rosehip bush in late autumn — the dried berries dark and clustered, the branches lifted against a softly graded winter sky. The male's red is muted slightly by the cool light, the female's warmth rhyming with the russet of the remaining hips. It is a composition built on exactly the kind of restraint that separates this watercolour from decorative bird art: nothing is brightened beyond what the actual light would allow.
Glen understood that the power of a winter bird painting comes from the cold, not from fighting against it. He let the season assert itself, and placed his cardinals honestly within it.
