New Painting

Hydrangeas and Hummingbird, framed 16x20, $300.

Here's part of my flower patch, these are Bee Balm which the hummingbirds love.

Sadie found a bug by the back door. Living in the woods we have all kinds!
Here's my new painting.I've propped it up to look at it for a few days before I frame it. The hydrangeas took a long time to paint but I enjoyed them so much. I decided on a hummingbird as we have so many now zooming around. I have 3 feeders out,one by the front steps and 2 by the back porch. Sadie doesn't seem to mind them,thank goodness. Now the lizards and frogs she loves to chase and hop with. I have had a few stray sunflowers come up in the garden and she broke one last night so I'm going to have to paint it today. A small yellow with green center sunflower, it will be a delight! Better go get my dishes done then on to the painting. Tell me what  you are doing today! love to each of you,Diana

  1. Hi Diana,you have captured beautifully the subtle color shifts in hydrangeas. I love the added touch of the hummingbird flying in. Such pretty Bee Balm flowers and I'm looking forward to a sunflower painting. You make me want to paint flowers!

  3. Wow Diana - you are always painting those things I so love. You do it so beautifully too. I live in a woods also but we don't have lizards here just lots and lots of bugs! When I finish up reading my blogs I am going to practice some glazing techniques. Have a lovely day.
