Wild Things and Tree Frog

Wild Things, 8x10",original watercolor,cost is $99 framed.
Hi, I finished this painting last night of a Short Tailed Black Swallowtail and Red Admiral. We have had both in the backyard, especially the swallowtail butterflies. They adore the tall phlox. The Devils Walking Stick, a wild tree,is now blooming and the hummingbirds and butterflies love that large mass of white blooms on top of this tree.

Today I ate lunch in the porch and hummingbirds were everywhere,I've made some more feed for them and will get some sugar when I go to the grocery store this week.One grazed the top of my head as I read.. ha ha.. Are you seeing extra hummingbird activity at your home?  

Talk to you soon,Diana 
I had to add the froggie photo, he is in the hydranea bush by the back porch.. I'll have to paint him. How adorable!

  1. I'm seeing hummingbird battles around my feeder! They are so territorial

  2. Have you EVER been busy! I do love your tomato painting. And the tree frog is adorable; I saw one yesterday when watering the flowers - he was in the hydrangeas, too! ;)

  3. If only! But we don't get such exotic birds in the UK! I LOVE Humming Birds - though I have never seen one for real.
    Your butterflies are exquisite too :0)

  4. Beautiful painting of the butterflies. I must admit that I missed the green frog when I first looked at the photo! LOL

  5. Beautiful butterflies! Yesterday I saw a hummingbird chasing a chickadee - he would just not let up. I hadn't realized they were so aggressive.

  6. I saw a hummingbird for the first time at this place, just the other day.. It was so small I thought it was a large moth , but it had that pointy long beak and was going in and out of the flower.. This morning I had a tiny frog the size of your pinky nail.. that may sound like I'm kidding but no kidding! I couldn't get in fast enough to get a photo. I wish I had.. BJ
