Original Oil Painting Hummingbird

Painted on stretch canvas.

I finished my hummingbird painting this morning, enhancing the lights and working on the edges of the bird. I used my petunias as reference and a photo reference from wet canvas for the bird. This time of the year we see quite a few hummingbirds. They like petunias, so I plant them in the front porch baskets and in the back patio containers. In fact I saw one when I was painting. Never could photograph one myself, they are so fast. Thank the lord for all the nice people who donate their photos to sites like wet canvas, paintmyphoto and others.

Painted on gesso panel.

It has been a slow week. Many interruptions and obligations to attend to. Today however I finally finished my painting, yeah!! I worked from a photos on this painting. One photo had fall leafs in  the silver bowl but I decided to put purple petunias in the bowl instead. I used my own reference photos for the petunias. The dish and grapefruit came from my master course photo I am taking. Of course the purple goes so well with the gold since they are complimentary colors. In fact there is a lot of complimentary play in this painting.
