I didn't particularly enjoy oil painting in college but I like that you can layer and correct with oil paints. I have mentioned before that I bow down to the talent that watercolor artists have. I don't have the patience for it, I try anyway here and there though. For now I am mainly using oil paint for my work.
Hummingbirds are incredibly popular. I like them too!
The whir of the wings and constant movement are characteristics of the hummingbird. I wanted to illustrate the wings in a new way. I remember watching a pair of hummingbirds near Grandma B's house and they would dive into spirals in the air and zip out of site. They were like little tornado spirits. This is a ruby throated hummingbird. I love the brilliant red and green colors together.
I had him go up and away and left the trail of his movement as it cuts through the wind. Out of all the colors I use with oil paints the greens are always my favorite to use. I will do hummingbids often, they are high in demand among my family, friends and new customers. This painting will be available in prints on Ultrasmooth Fine Art Paper and Loose Canvas.
