“Ruby Throated Hummingbird Pair”

It’s been quite the year! I feel like my health has been a big factor in my production of artwork and I really struggled to stay focused and energized.

Luckily, these hummingbirds came to visit at their feeder at our cabin in the Lost River Valley of West Virginia. I remember sitting in the sun, the birds flittered and twittered around my head, chasing each other in a dominant dance over their sugar water. It only took 5 minutes for these minute birds to understand that I would not hurt them.

After an afternoon enjoying their company and soaking up some sun rays, I was able to paint these two very quickly, which surprised both me and my husband. I was so proud of them that I placed them in frames and mounted them on my kitchen wall as soon as I could. I did not take pictures and share with everyone as I normally would, but wanted to bask in my little accomplishments over the summer.

They are still on my kitchen wall, reminding me that I am capable and I am doing what I am meant to do even if my health is questionable. 

I am finally posting prints to be sold in a set. If you are interested in a print of this painting, use the contact form below and we can work together on the perfect size and style of print that you wish.
