Artist's Comments
These back yard beauties are such a thrill to see. Each year I really enjoy seeing their return to the hanging flower pots. They are the busiest little birds I seem to see each year. They fly around and make that buzzing sound that is so distinctive; it always catches my attention. Once they become used to you being there, they seem to become fearless in their never-ending quest for the nectar they eat. This bird is a real challenge to paint, as he doesn’t sit still very long. I have seen them in the trees, perched on a small branch; you have to look really close to spot them. It is then that the small bird looks real, in the air they seem to resemble a large bee, but once they stop, well let’s just say, they look like a bird again. I really enjoyed painting these guys, and I hope you enjoy them as much.
