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!
