"Hummer Backing Up" ; is an original painting of a hummingbird surrounded by energy and wind, and is backing up . Its wings try to back up and get out. Its dinosaur-like claws are out, where they’re usually tucked in. Maybe its pivoting for a landing on a branch.
"Hummer Backing Up" is part of a painting series I started a some years ago. These 16” x 20” paintings were small sized, for me, at the. time. I had just wound down a series of much larger pictures. They were about the American west, before the arrival of the whites. (That theme is another very different story, and some day I’ll put those pictures up for sale.)
But for this series, the small size was partially a result of a shoulder injury that prevented any big movements in my left arm, my painting arm.
As to the subject matter, I have always been fascinated by the hummingbird; its unique wing wave pattern (more like a helicopter doing a figure-8, than typical birds, that flap up and down), their coloring, the whirring sound they make. There’s something magic about them, and their beauty is irresistible to a painter in search of beauty.
An original oil, acrylic and pearlescent painting; varnished, on stretched canvas, 16” x 20”, wired and ready to hang. Unframed.
