"Little Visitor" 5 x 5 inches, Oil on Gessoboard Buy on Paypal  $ 60. This little girl, is inspired by a recent post to my facebook page.  Some people do a great job sharing their time and resources with Hummingbirds.  One woman set up many feeders for Hummingbirds just outside her living room where she keeps one window open.   She enjoyed a little broad billed Hummingbird visitor who wanted to perch on her finger.  After a short while she flew to to feeder again to join the others but while the visit took place, someone filmed it and thus posted on facebook. I have to say, these kind of posts make my day...maybe my week.

"Toes Crossed" 5 x 5 inches, Oil on Board Sold This beautiful Hummingbird has his toes crossed for me...that's because I'm hoping for more days like yesterday and today.  Got the peas planted yesterday and God watered them in last night, while I slept.  

Bad Hair Day, 4 x 4 inches, Oil on Panel  Sold, Thank you I know Hummingbirds don't have bad hair days, but this kinda just happened and I decided to go with it.  Sometimes paintings take on a life of their own and this painting is a prime example of that theory.  Poor little guy.  He's just so cute!

Maxwell, 5 x 5 inches, Gessoboard Sold - Thank you I was trying to get the feather texture and iridescence of this Broad Billed Hummingbird.  So this piece is a combination of palette knife and thickly loaded brushes. 

Tah-Dah! 6 x 6 inches, Oil on Board with Palette Knife I was going to give this special Hummingbird a first name, but the pose was just so about to take a bow.  I had to name it Tah-Dah!
