Oh Hummingbird!
7.5 x 12, soft pastel
Rarely do I paint plein air (outdoors) but I couldn't resist trying to capture this guy (in a painting that is). He visited me quite often with his friends during the summer months in Cascade. I always plant these particular flowers to encourage hummingbirds to hang around my patio...and they really do the trick! I do confess, I had to take a few photos to see what he really looked like since he didn't want to sit still for me. Anyway, thankfully I didn't scare him away....especially since I was singing "Oh Hummingbird" the whole time. (the neighbors must have thought I was a bit looney)
