16"x20" Oil pastel on stretched canvas. Great Sapphirewing Hummingbird, the wings of this high-altitude species are unique for their iridescent blue feathers and their size.
Artist Reply: How kind of you to say Vickie, I really appreciate all my wonderful new found friends here at art wanted. My husband is a man of very few words, so I get very little feedback here. That is why I get so happy about artist commenting on my work. God bless
This is a very lovely painting, great colors and exceptional soft edges! I have never seen this hummingbird before... here we only have the Ruby throated hummingbird. Do you live in a high altitude area?
Artist Reply: Thank you so much for your kind comments. No, I live in Ohio. I found this image in a National Geo. Mag. God bless
oh this is so beautiful what a wonderuful piece!!!!!!!
Artist Reply: Coming from such an artistic person as yourself, I am humbled. So nice to hear from you Jamie. I have been keeping an eye on your work as well.God bless
