If you have a moment, watch this awesome animal story: depressed goat overjoyed when reunited with donkey best friend. Animals feel things just like people.
This piece is done in acrylic on (6" x 6") quality cardstock especially for Creative Tuesdays Bird House theme. I've been seeing a lot of red cardinals out and about this spring, so I was inspired to include one in this painting.

Love the cardinal and his house, so pretty! Valerie
This is wonderful! The birdhouse in the tree looks fantastic and I also love the contrast of the cardstockbackground and the green leaves and the cute red birdie.
The Cardinal is our state bird (Kentucky). I love them. I especially love seeing them in winter!! Their red looks so amazing against the backdrop of the snow.
I love this, its so whimsical!!
I love that story about the goat and donkey! I ran across it a few days ago, and it squeezed my heart. Yes, animals certainly do feel things.
That is a really pretty painting. I adore cardinals. They are such sweet birds, and they sing so beautifully.
Amazing post !Would you like to follow each other?

That was a touching video. Pretty art, Christine!
Pretty! I think cardinals are one of my favorite birds that visit my feeders, although now I have started taking the feeders in every night due to the raccoon raider that is just so persistent! :-)
It's a shame that most people give animals no respect. Mammals especially act and think just like we do, after-all we are mammals too.
Fabulous painting Christine. No Red Cardinals over here, so it is lovely to see them around blogland, portrayed so prettily.
I enjoyed that video last week, it's so special :o)
I love this cardinal and the little house:))
So pretty!
I'ts a creative bird house! Some years ago, in my house, we have a trough hummingbird, but there was a lot of bees ):
Oh, your bird house is adorable!! AND Kendra and I watched the video together - ohhhhh, how sweet - I totally cried :/
Thank you too for playing along with the SOC this year! xoox
What a beautiful cardinal and wonderful birdhouse too! So darling!
Well one thing must be for sure. Mrs. Cardinal must love her new home and will probably be decorating in reds and whites.
Darling drawing, and I love the sway....to the house!
It's fun to see Cardinals at other times of year, not just winter! (What? They exist in the Spring and summer too? :) )
Love the simplicity of the palette here and the colour chosen. Great design, Christine. thank you! Hope you enjoyed your blog break too, right?
BTw, re the video. I've seen that before. Isn't it so lovely? Totally wells up ones heart. Yes, many many animals have real feelings, memories, dreams, etc and can suffer for depression, etc. Makes me want to be a vegetarian!
Welcome back to CT. Love your cardinal, such a gorgeous red to match his little house. Perfect.
This is great! I love it, Christine. We do have cardinals in Hawaii too.
Really cute. I like that it is a little bit off-kilter. We don't seem to get cardinals around here -- at least I haven't seen any.
I love how the birdhouse is leaning so far over, must be a little uncomfortable for the little birdies :)
