ORANGE CARDINAL Acrylic on Wood Panel | 8" × 10" | 2022 Custom Framed

Small bird. Enormous presence.

Orange Cardinal places a Northern Cardinal on a branch against a ground of deep, velvety black — and then sets it on fire. The bird is painted in layers of orange, red and gold that build from the dark ground upward, the plumage almost luminous against the black, the crest catching a light that has no obvious source. Gold paint splashes across the background like sparks or scattered seeds or simply paint celebrating the fact that it gets to be gold. The word ORANGE is stencilled into the dark ground behind the bird — visible, barely, like a label on something that has long since exceeded its description.

The cardinal perches with the composed stillness of something that knows it is the brightest thing in any tree it has ever sat in and has made its peace with the responsibility. The black frame contains all of that warmth and makes it burn brighter.

This is a painting about colour as pure feeling — the orange and red and gold of a cardinal in winter light, against darkness, doing what cardinals always do which is make everything around them look like it was waiting for them to arrive.

FAQ

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We offer free shipping on most works, with shipping costs (when applicable) never exceeding 10% of the piece's price. Large canvases ship rolled in a professional tube; oversized works requiring special packaging may be an exception, and we're happy to provide a quote. International collectors are responsible for any duties and taxes upon arrival.

Can I receive my painting already stretched and framed?

Large works ship rolled by default for safety in transit. If you'd prefer your piece delivered already on stretcher bars, contact us before purchasing for a separate shipping quote at your own expense. If you're interested in framing, reach out to claire@clairepriceartist.com to discuss your vision — we're happy to provide quotes and mockups to help you visualize the finished piece.

What if I'm not happy with my purchase?

Returns are accepted within 30 days of receiving the work. Choosing an artwork is a deeply personal experience, and we'll do our best to help place the right piece in your home — if something isn't right, contact us immediately and we'll try to facilitate an exchange or, if necessary, a refund. For returns, the client is responsible for the cost of shipping and insuring the piece back to us; once it arrives safely, a full refund is issued minus shipping and related expenses.

Is each piece truly one of a kind?

Yes — every original is a unique, one-of-one work, signed by the artist on the front and/or back, and shipped with a certificate of authenticity establishing provenance. The artist retains all copyright to the image, and reserves the right to reproduce it as prints or use it in future projects, at her discretion.

Do you take custom commissions?

Occasionally, by inquiry. Commission pricing is calculated at $4.50 per square inch, with a 50% non-refundable deposit required to begin. Contact us to discuss your piece and confirm availability.
