About the work

I have been painting all my life. I began painting birds in flight to loosen my brush stokes and let myself be a little more careless and flowing in my paintings. I fell in love, especially with hummingbirds. Not only for their beauty, but for their meaning. What the hummingbird symbolizes is what really draws me to them. Hummingbirds are a symbol for accomplishing that which seems impossible. They are seemingly tireless, always seeking the sweetest nectar. They remind us to always seek out the good in life and beauty in each day. They teach us how to find the miracle of joyful living from our own circumstances. I have sold over 85 original paintings of hummingbirds. This print is from one of my favorite collections.
