The newest piece to come off my easel is "Essence" a hummingbird painting inspired by the sweet little visitors I've been seeing in my back garden. Each year I plant cascade geraniums in my hanging pots out back I always look forward to the hummingbirds they attract. I was just in the kitchen last night, cleaning up after dinner and was getting ready to close the blinds when I saw a little hummer visiting all 3 of my geraniums. Right before dark, this little guy was a real treat to watch as I was finishing up my day.
I had lots of fun with the background on this one and in fact, liked the effect so much, I will definately be creating more paintings with this abstract and fanciful style to them. The painting measures 24" x 30" on 1 1/2" deep gallery wrap canvas.
At least I get to enjoy this little hummingbird for a few weeks before he ends up flying out of my house. I hope you are inspired each day by the creatures in nature that come to visit in your own garden. www.artfulcreations.etsy.com
