"Hello!" Celebration Series #13/25 - IN PROGRESS
IN EARLY PROGRESS - I reversed direction with this painting of a ruby throated hummingbird, from a dark background to light. I've just roughed the hummingbird back in, so it's ... rough.
This is a square painting, size is 8" x 8" and it's painted on an oil-primed linen panel. Colors shown on your device are approximate.
When finally in full flight, I hope this little painting will bring viewers into that happy moment in early spring when their first hummingbird appears after migrating many hundreds of miles south, then back north and buzzes toward you, hovering and bobbing back and forth in front of your nose, wings humming like a little motor, looking into your eyes as if to say "Hello!" - or maybe "Feed me!"
"Hello!" is no. 13/25 in my ongoing Celebration Series of 25 small paintings being created to commemorate my studio and gallery's 25th anniversary.
--------------------------------------------------
I'm running behind on the Celebration paintings. We're now well into my studio & gallery's 26th year. I think this year I painted more commissions than any year in my lifetime and it's kept me from these small works. I hope you enjoy each Celebration painting no matter when the series is completed!
