#259 Three Cardinals in Winter 12/11/19

In my bird file, I've had this picture for a while.  I love the muted colors of it.  I don't think I quite captured it, but I enjoyed the effort.  Once I finished it, and photographed it....I decided the bottom cardinal was suffering from "fat beak".  The paint was too wet to fix then....and once the red beak dried enough I was able to chisel it into shape with some whitish-grayish paint.  I also added some additional snow on top of the branches.  I'm a bit happier with the painting now, though my phone's camera is perpetually changing oranges into yellows.  But even with that excuse, I should have made the birds a bit more tan.  I may have to paint this photo again!
