February, 2014:
I'm honored to announce that A Ruby In The Snow and one other of my images have been chosen by St. Jude's Hospital to be auctioned off at their "DC Gourmet Gala" fundraising event in Arlington Virginia later this month. My sincere thanks to Maureen Maliha of Trillium Gallery for making this wonderful opportunity possible!
A ruby-red male cardinal waits out the harshness of a frigid winter's afternoon, feathers fluffed up to maintain his body heat. I don't know how they survive these brutal, cold months, but they do. Year-round residents in most of the Mid-Atlantic states of the US, cardinals have been known to live as long as 15 years.
This image was taken with the Nikon D300 in December of 2010. Image editing took place in several versions of Photoshop, Corel Painter 11 and other programs, and treated to a hint of grain and grunge, a lovely, icy white border plus the addition of thick handmade paper texture for added depth and interest. The falling snow, however, is Mother Nature's own.

Fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... this image will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."
