I'm in the middle of a massive studio cleaning and organizing this week. I'd rather be painting, but it must be done... I do have several new pieces that are almost finished, so look for them in the coming weeks, as well as more updates on Pede's portrait progress.
Since this is just a quick post, I'll leave you with a photo I took last week of a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird at my backyard feeder. The light has to hit their throat feathers just right to be red, otherwise the "ruby" feathers appear black or gold...
Once again, I'm honored to be a Blog of Note. Thank you everyone for the lovely comments, and welcome new readers!
Much love,
Beautiful photo! xoxox

Nice picture, you have very nice paintings... and seem to have made art and animals your life. I like to see a person dedicated to something.
ReplyDeleteI have 3 hummingbird feeders up and one happen to run out of food. I was talking on the phone looking out the window and watch the hummingbird check for food and then turn and look at me through the glass as if yelling at me for such follie! LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen, you have a beautiful blog here. Congratulations on being listed in the 'Blog of Note' section, your blog definitely deserves this honor. Best of luck and wish you more progress.
ReplyDeleteYour work is beautiful - not just this picture but the portraits as well. It can be really hard to capture a pet's essence in art, but it seems you've done it! :)

I have to say, there is always something nice about paintings of dogs, their dogness comes out well when painted.
ReplyDeleteKudos!
Świetny blog. Masz niezwykły talent :)
ReplyDeletePozdrawiam.
Congratulations! I love the photo by the way. I have tried to get hummingbirds to come to my house every year and I've never really succeeded. I have plants, feeders, everything. Maybe some of us just weren't meant to have hummingbirds...
ReplyDeletecongratulations! :D
ReplyDeleteyou have an amazing blog.
have a nice day.
Considering the fact that hummingbirds typically flap their little wings 80x a second, this picture captures a stillness rarely seen. I'm absolutely enamored with these beautiful creatures. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! Congratulations on being Blog of Note. My name's Christopher Bassoo, and I was just looking around at social media, web applications, franchise sales, Googlela analytic, prevention of fraud, and fraudulent emails, etc, and came across your blog and was mesmerized by your artwork. You have quite the talent for capturing the essence of animals. There's one of an elephant you did that I'm pretty sure is my favorite. Anyway, again, congrats on being Blog of Note, you definitely deserve it. I'll be coming back for sure. :) Warm regards, Chris Bassoo.
