Hummingbird with White Flowers

My latest painting. (Oil on Wood Panel, with Silver Leaf) A change of color palate and a return to silver leaf.

Twilight Hummingbird

My latest painting: Twilight Hummingbird, (Oil on Wood Panel, 11" x 14"). When I presented my last mini-series of hummingbirds, several people shared with me their feeling that these wondrous birds represented the lively spirit of departed loved ones. It occurred to me that the birds' appearances brought back fond memories and also spontaneous smiles. Thus, what a great subject to paint!

Solar Eclipse and Three Hummingbirds

Solar Eclipse and Three Hummingbirds, Oil on Wood Panel, 11" x 14"

There's something about hummingbirds that is magical. Also magical are celestial events such as eclipses and meteor showers. The recent solar eclipse gave me the ideas to combine both hummingbirds and the solar eclipse in the same painting.
