Hummingbirds & Flight of the Rufus were painted for the Small Birds Show at the Corner Gallery in Everett.  I had a desire to do something with a heron, but had to rethink much smaller.  I decided to paint the little Hummingbirds who swarm our feeders each spring and summer.  We’ve put up one feeder for the Annas and another for the Rufus, but there’s still a lot of fighting. One little guy sits up on the gutter and dive bombs intruders.  I’ve named him “The Sentinel”.
I used an impressionistic realism for the Annas, but a much more abstract realism for the Rufus hoping to convey the velocity of their flight patterns.

Both paintings are 10 x 8 acrylic on canvas.

Morning on the Beach

An acrylic on canvas 16 x 20 based on a beautiful 

sky and water photo from a friend. I have moved 

the boy and dog in to the foreground and added 

the stack of logs. It looks so much like a quiet 

Whidbey Island morning.
