KATHY BATES “Backyard Chronicles, Mr. Cardinal in the Crabapples” Original Oil on Board

Original oil on board painting by Ohio artist Kathy Bates depicts a stately cardinal perched amongst the branches of a crabapple tree that is set into a crisp, wintery background. The withered trees and subtle shades of gray and white Bates has used provide a glimpse into the cold atmosphere that this bird rests in; its bright red plumage drawing the viewer’s attention to a central focal point. Housed in a stained wood frame, this painting is signed in the lower right corner of the board and en verso by the artist.

Other pieces by Kathy Bates available, sold separately.
