Hummer Colors

2.5x3.5 watercolor miniature hummingbird art done first of this month on 140 lb cold press paper. For this ACEO, I had to paint it twice, as the first one fell out of a sketchbook never to be found. References from photos taken in Alto this late summer at our feeder. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2026
