Hummingbird and Hibiscus oils on canvas, original bird art

Starting on the lay in of the back ground, I am already seeing I do not like the composition. I will deal with  that later- the ease of moving oils keeps me totally in love with this medium! 

Placing the darks on the hummingbird- super important step!

As you can see, I have made a few changes in the composition.My client wanted a peach colored hibiscus. This is a surprise for her hummingbird-loving husband!

After consulting with my client,who is pleased with the out come, I have signed it, and will paint the wrapped canvas sides with the same background color, as requested. It will dry for a few days, then be off to its new home. I hope her husband is not only surprised, but pleased as well!



I hope you've enjoyed viewing the process of this painting. If you'd like to have your own original  hummingbird painting in oils, please contact me through this blog, or sandrasart777@aol.com.I can quickly give you a  very reasonable price, and would love to work with you!

Cardinals! Photos of our backyard love birds, and a nest with eggs in oils I've created

Isn't this lovely? I adore our beautiful cardinal couple who come to visit our backyard bird feeders each day. In the spring they usually show up with their newest born, already a few weeks old, big enough to have flown out of his nest and be taught how to take a little free seeds when one can!

The above painting is a commissioned piece, on its way to Vermont. I'm sure they are hoping for an early spring.We seem to be having one here in southeast Texas. The last few days have been sunny, in the 70's, and perfect for my long walks outside.

Enjoy, and have a blessed weekend!
