A red cardinal bird perches on a snow-covered evergreen branch decorated with gold and silver glass ornaments, red ribbons, and twinkling white lights. The bird's feathers are detailed with loose watercolor brush strokes in bright crimson and black, while the background shows a soft wash of cool winter blues and greens suggesting a snowy forest scene. Small droplets of paint create a textured effect throughout the illustration, with areas where colors blend naturally into one another. Traditional watercolor illustration with visible brushstrokes and paint bleeds on textured paper.
