“I selected the cardinal for this painting because of its great popularity over a wide territory in our country, and because of its obvious great beauty.” “Everywhere in the cardinal’s northern range, it has been seen and admired against a backdrop of snow and evergreens.  Anyone who has seen just one cardinal in this setting will understand the great pleasure with which I worked on this painting.” 

This is a registered lithograph from the famous Richard Sloan collection series of wildlife paintings.  Mr. Sloan is recognized as the world’s finest for his attention to detail and authenticity of background settings.
