Description
For those of you who might have noticed, yes, I improved this painting since you last saw it. This is my altered version of El Greco's "Portrait of a Cardinal" oil painting. I painted mine in watercolor paint and chose to replace the Cardinal's human head with the head of a cardinal, the bird. Yes, I know that this play on words is not very original, but I think it makes for an interesting painting.9" x 12"

Good study of the original, his style is evident. And hilarious addition, very very surreal.

poking fun at figures who have likely had a negative influence on society is always a delightful and daring venture - i commend you on a wonderfully subtle statement

El Greco had to paint the original before I could feed off of his, but thanks for the compliment!

My exact thought was, "Hey, isn't that El Gre- wtf?"
Very cute, and not a bad study of the original, either.
