Sunlit Hummer

 Sunlit Hummer

6 x 6, pastel

I was all set and ready to get started on a landscape that may or may not have included bluebonnets. But when I started up the tablet the photo that immediately popped up was this hummer! I have had difficulty getting photos of hummingbirds in the sun, so I am pretty sure this little guy was a visitor last year. 

I just had to paint this little guy first!!  Loved the way he sparkles in the sunlight and he just looks so sassy!

Have been working on a commission and when it was completed I wanted to create something loose. Maybe the butterflies aren't loose but the grasses were a blast to complete. Sometimes a change is all you need!
