  1. I love the vibrancy of this! The colors hum just like the bird would! Well done! I also love the purple flowers below and their sweet nostalgic feel.

  2. Yes, this little guy is energized. I see a whole garden behind this hummer too, Katherine. All the stuff that "painted itself", looks so purposely put and like foliage to me. (I see roses too - giving it that nostalgic feel.) This was drawn on the yupo paper with ink and then "filled in" with watercolor in less than 20 minutes. I can't always do that, unless I just 'nudge or suggest' and allow the piece to kinda paint itself. It's a rush!

  4. Oh! Oh! Oh! How glorious to know they are on the move! Yaaay! :)
    Good news is I just received word this morning that I will be getting an apartment with a balcony so I can hang my feeders up and enjoy our little celestial friends as well as plant some flowers and a few vege's. I'm ecstatic Sandy! :)

    This painting is full of joy and vibrancy...even with the muted background it makes the hummingbird really pop out, as if I am seeing it through a camera lense with the background a bit fuzzy...not sure I'm making any sense here? Anyway...I love the composition and colors you chose Sandy.

    1. Akasa, I am happy to hear you will have a balcony and will be able to make it your own little sanctuary! I know it will be lovely. Thanks for your nice comments about my painting and yes, as always, you made perfect sense! :-D
