9 Hummingbirds and Hisbiscus

I'll dream of hummingbirds so my hopes and motivation soar like they do. Oil and Silver Leaf on Wood Panel, 11" x 14".

I've been walking around the neighborhood taking pictures of flowers, birds and dogs. I've posted some of these recently. Here's the newest painting based on the photos and what I've seen. By the way, there is no dog in this painting, so don't try looking for it! 

After creating several hummingbird paintings, people have shared with me their personal connection to the hummingbird. It's been fascinating and inspired me to do more. It seems that many people feel that the hummingbird is the reinvented soul of a passed loved one.


The painting is 11" x 14", oil on wood panel.

Hummingbird and Geranium

Hummingbird and Geranium is the latest painting to be completed for the October show at Toma Sol Cafe. It is an oil on wood panel, 20" x 24". The show at Splash Wine will still be up through this month with the reception on September 6th. 

The hummingbirds are still a'buzz outside my window in the canyon. They look like they're having fun.

Hummingbird and White Passionflower

Hummingbird with White Passionflower- 20" x 24", Oil on Wood Panel.

I finished the latest in the hummingbird series. I've combined a hummingbird with one of my favorite flowers. There also something magical about a passionflower. I paired a white variety with an interested hummingbird.

Passionflowers are like elaborate stars, especially the white varieties. It makes a great backdrop to the fascinating hummingbird.
