Original Folk Art Painting – Woman with Cardinal – Whimsical Outsider Style. I painted this acrylic on canvas in my folk art style. The woman in the yellow hat holds a red cardinal, a symbol of hope and presence. I used bold red, pink, and yellow with black-and-white accents for contrast. Original, one-of-a-kind painting. Acrylic on canvas, signed by me (Ruth Arenz Art). Unframed and ready to hang or frame. A colorful, whimsical piece for anyone who loves folk art, portraits, or birds.
