Description
For this piece I first sketched out the humming bird & the flowers using a lightly drawn grid to center the piece according to the sized board. Then with tedious time & effort I began to paint in the many shades & colors to the desired result. Upon using the scrylic paint I came to find that the more paint used the better it was to spread & cover the area. Comments, opinions, & crit. welcomed.Related content

I apologize for not replying sooner, but I have been sick recently & have had a work injury that I've been dealing with. Thank you so much for featuring my art work & I am very pleased that you love this piece.

this is beautiful, the eye really captures a characteristic look hummingbirds have and the dark colours with the bright flower contrast really well

Thank you very much. Took me a while to get the scetch to look good enough to paint, then the long hours of painting realistically. I really appreciate the compliment.

Ohh yeah. There is actually a moth that flies around just as fast as the Humming bird does. Kinda looks like a fast jet to me. -Nixirhei

Whoa--what kind of creature IS that?? Hehehe...if you get the name of this critter, please let me know. Gotta check this out on Wikipedia or something.
