"Flutter" has just lifted its wings and flown from my studio. I love watching Hummingbirds in my garden each year, they seem especially drawn to my Cascade Geraniums, which I have hanging right outside my back door.
These tiny, quick moving and very graceful birds are amazing to watch and I knew I wanted to create a painting to capture the delicacy of their movements.
Flutter is a contemporary garden-scape painted on 1 1/2" deep gallery wrapped canvas.
Each canvas panel measures 6" x 8" for a total size of 8" h x 18" w. I decided to go with a black background to highlight the white/gray flowers and the Hummingbird in its full color, for what I hope lends itself to a contemporary feel.
I hope perhaps that this painting might inspire everyone to look for Hummingbirds in their own garden each year. Enjoy!!!! This acrylic painting is available in my ETSY shop:

Hi Ruth, This is just gorgeous. You captured the feel of contemporary so well by giving the Hummingbird color. I love this bird too and am always amazed when I see one in my garden. Of course I never have the camera ready.
ReplyDeleteI hope this flys out of your Ruby Lane Shop as well. Just Gorgeous.
We are on a staycation this week like you had. Doing some odd jobs around the house and taking a day trip on Friday or so. See you when I am back in the studio next week.
Have a nice and creative week too.

Hi Ruth,
ReplyDeleteHey, these three "Flutters" are great.
They look wonderful together or would look good seperated.
Amazing how pieces look on a dark background.
Keep up the good work.

Hi Ruth ...I love this piece. It's so simple and very elegant. I love contrast of the light and dark.
ReplyDeleteWe have hummingbirds visit each year and enjoy sitting on the patio in the evening to watch them play among the setting sunlight.
