This is a hummingbird that I painted with trupet vines and flowers. I used my Wacom Tablet and stylus pen and Painter IX.5 software to digitally paint, not a manipulated photo. I have to paint every part of this image, and start with a blank canvas on the screen. I did not cut or paste, or just blend a photo. I know at times the small thumbnails posted do not show all the brush strokes and it may appear more like a photo. I also use blending tools to blend out brush strokes at times to make it more realistic. I often blend together several mediums that I could not with the real mediums. The computer lets me mix mediums such airbrush, pastels, chalks, & watercolor, which were all used in this painting.

So many flowers, so little time - beauty Terry! :0)

Artist Reply: LOL! Thanks Chas! I'm on the way home from vacation with lots of new photos and ideas I got while traveling across the US. I've lots of new projects to work on, and learned some new skills as well. Never enough flowers to see, or time to work with them.
