Wisteria and Hummer

Hummingbirds are very hard to photograph! Luckily I have a photographer friend who loves to photograph birds. I love the way this little hummer looks so brave! The colors in the Wisteria really compliment the golden glow of the hummingbird in the afternoon light. The hummingbird and the Wisteria are from The Prescott, Arizona area where I live. I love painting in watercolors. I love the way the colors glow through each layer and fill with light, like stained glass.

All my watercolor paintings are painted on Arches 300# cold-pressed, bright white watercolor paper. Arches paper is archival and acid-free. I use M. Graham and Winsor and Newton's professional watercolor paints. My colors are permanent and archival and will not fade or change color! I will never paint with fugitive colors no matter how beautiful or vibrant they are. It is important to me that my paintings will last a lifetime and beyond with the proper care and attention.
