Ruby-throated hummingbird 2010

Ruby-throatedhummingbird2010

Dear Everyone:

I have been gradually compiling

a series of folk art paintings of

birds. These birds are from my

youth. My parents were avid

bird-watchers and we always

had bird-feeders in

the back yard or noted birds

on nature hikes.

Today's entry is a ruby-throated

hummingbird. I specifically

wanted to paint a cropped

image and am pleased with

the result.

Hope you enjoy this image.

Helen.

Georgia's Hummingbird

This image unites my bird series with

famous artist Georgia O'Keefe (1887-1986).

The petunia references her most famous work-

her flower paintings. I also associate Georgia

O'Keefe with desert scenes with skulls.

I hope that you enjoy this image.

Have a sense-of-wonderment-never-

goes-away kind of day.

Helen.
