Hummingbird and White Flowers, Oil on Wood Panel, 11" x 14"

I also have a fascination of flowers and white flowers in particular. This stems from a "white on white" painting project that I had years ago in art school. In this case, however, I wanted a more robust use of color, so I set the white flowers and hummingbird on a background of vivid, fire-like colors. I've also added silver leaf to the painting for its reflective quality to enhance the hot, bold background.
