Painted bunting in a tree

This is my acrylic painting of a vividly colored male painted bunting in a tree. The dark blue head, red rump, and green back plumage of the male only comes in the second year of life; in the first year they look similar to a female. These shy and secretive birds are in the cardinal family.
