New Hummingbird Watercolor

Hi! This Thursday, I taught a Hummingbird Watercolor Class at ESO Art Center in Belle Haven,Va. It was a small class but we had a good time.

Pictured above is a hummingbird painting I did this week. The Ruby Throated Male Hummer in my painting has iridescent paint on him as well as gold metallic watercolor paint.The background is a pour with some of the gold .  Today was one of those days I didn't get to paint as much as I had hoped. Our kitchen stove broke down so we had to get a new one today , and my new eyeglasses came in and I went to get them. The frames are red.. a big change but I'm tickled with them especially because I can see so much better!!! I had not realized I needed new glasses.

  Wishing you all a peaceful weekend. The season here is turning slowly to fall which is delightful.I've enjoyed my walks this week. talk to you soon,Diana

  1. Hah! My latest pair of glasses are light blue and tortoise shell and they look green, my favorite color. I too am amazed when I can see so much better with a new pair of glasses.

    Love the hummingbird and I'm going to have to find some of that irridiscent paint.

  2. Diana, your hummingbird painting is really a beauty. I can't seem to attract them here and I live on Hummingbird Place.. how ironic is that.!
