"Have I Told You 'I Love You' Today?" - cardinals in dogwood

from $55.00

Archival giclee signed and numbered limited edition (500) from a gouache and pencil original.

In this tender and beautifully balanced composition, Christina Smith captures a quiet exchange between a male and female cardinal perched among blooming dogwood branches. The male’s brilliant crimson plumage radiates warmth and devotion, while the female’s softer olive and rose tones provide a gentle harmony beside him. Their subtle body language suggests conversation — an intimate moment suspended in time.

Clusters of creamy white dogwood blossoms weave gracefully through the scene, each petal rendered with delicate pencil precision and enriched with soft layers of gouache. Small ladybugs tucked among the blooms add a note of charm and discovery, rewarding close observation.

Set against a pale, uncluttered background, the artwork feels airy and contemplative. Smith’s refined linework and luminous color create a piece that is both naturalistic and poetic — a celebration of companionship, affection, and the quiet beauty found in everyday moments of love.

Above all, we want you to be happy with your new art work and will refund your purchase if it isn’t what you expected. We strive to display the images on the website as accurately as possible. Due to the inconsistencies of display monitors the color you see on your screen may be just a little different from the actual colors of the print or original. This variance can’t be avoided but will be slight. The prints don’t shift in color. It’s the computer monitors that deliver the images differently.
