Detail - Hummer WIP watercolor

This detail is about 4x6 of another hummingbird in upper left of the new nature garden painting. Part of pansy leaves lower right you can see aren't yet painted. It is so dry here that my paper kept evaporating its water at a faster rate than my brush could keep up layering background areas. Don't forget to stay tuned and check back later on this work in progress.

This is adorable! We don't get Humming birds over here. It's a shame because I'd love to see one!

Thanks Sandra! They are tiny treasures, so fast if you blink you might miss them. A friend of mine kept one in her kitchen for years.

Woven Flowers of Passion

15x22 work is actually two identically painted scenes of pink roses in front of a house. The original was ho-hum boring so a few years late...
