Chubby Cardinal

A vibrant red male cardinal sits centered on a snow-covered branch surrounded by dark berry clusters against a soft pink-to-teal gradient background. Falling snowflakes are dotted throughout the composition, adding a gentle winter atmosphere. The bird is rendered with visible brushstrokes capturing feather texture and the distinctive black mask and crest. The warm red of the cardinal contrasts boldly with the cool blue-teal background. Moderate complexity due to the bird's feather detailing and branching structure, though the large shapes and soft background are accessible to intermediate beginners.
