"Hummer Rising Golden" is a hummingbird bathed in golden light, rising into the sky. This one is about staying fresh and backlit and washy, letting some areas be translucent. Getting the bird to look alive. Enjoying a more watercolor feeling than I usually do. Trying to not overwork something.
"Hummer Rising Golden" is a painting series I started a some years ago, and still continues.At the time, these 16” x 20” paintings were small sized for me.I had just wound down a series of much larger pictures, that were about the American west, before the arrival of the whites. (That theme is another story, and some day I’ll put those pictures up for sale.)
But for this series, the small size was a result of a shoulder injury that prevented any movement 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 rotary 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.
An original oil, acrylic and pearlescent painting, on stretched canvas, 16” x 20”, wired and ready to hang. Unframed.
$2250
Buy it today, and be a friend! Seriously, I know you will be pleased when it’s hanging on your wall.
Thanks for your time, and consideration. -Mark Lindquist
