My lastest painting, which was also a gift for my mom for Mother's Day. She's always been fond of hummingbirds and even has a feeder hanging on the patio. This painting was, in fact, based on a picture I took awhile back ago with my own camera. It sure came in handy as a nice reference for this painting. This posed a new challenge for me with a small bird and a solid object (the feeder), which I needed to be more precise with. I was fairly pleased with the background, although I could have toned down the white lights a bit. Also, because the frame didn't come with a glass cover, I put a few layers of varnish medium on top to finish it off. But overall I was pleased and my mom loved it! And that's all that counted for this occassion! :)
