Wood Burned Cardinal from WCI Fall Issue

[Merle Rice]

10 "x 8"x 1 1/4 " , Basswood. Colored Pencils and Poly U. My version of the Cardinal , thought I would make it a little brighter . A very relaxing piece ,no rush , just took my time, I guess you could say I was Puttsing around. Nice to finish a Piece and haven't messed up my Shop . Merle
