Attraction - Acrylic Hummingbird Quadtych Painting

"Attraction" is a new acrylic quadtych on gallery canvas that just came off my easel last week. I've actually been wanting to paint this for quite some time, a couple of years actually.
It all started one spring when I went to the nursery to get the annuals for my back porch. I have a very sunny location in the backyard so I love geraniums for my pots out there as they are so hardy, colorful and sun & heat tolerant.


I had always gotten zonal gernaiums but this particular year, I saw cascade geraniums and thought for my hanging pots at least, they would be perfect. What I didn't realize was, cascade geraniums attract..............


HUMMINGBIRDS!!!! Imagine my happy surprise at this discovery.


So now each summer, cascade geraniums fill my hanging pots out back and I am treated to the site of hummingbirds fluttering around on a daily basis.


This painting has already flown off to it's new home....I hope it will be enjoyed each day, for a long time to come. www.artfulcreations.etsy.com
