Day23, Mom's Friend

Mom's Friend  6x6 Oil on Panel

Sometimes a painting just pops out and I wonder "where did that come from?"  Others sit half completed and wait for the final inspiration.  This painting started as an abstract and I knew it was missing something special but I didn't know what.  Then, when speaking to my mom on the phone, it became clear.  My mom t told me about her dear friend.  This painting is of a very rare Hummingbird breed known as Betty's Hummingbird.  At least I think it is, as I am no bird specialist.  In fact this could all be a figment of my imagination.  After all, I have had a long day.

Here's a close up.  These are always fun to see.


Have a wonderful day.

Completed January 23rd.

I love this painting. The abstract background and the beautiful flowers really added to the hummingbird. Made me think of Grandma and how much she loved hummingbirds. She also loved you very much and was always so proud of you.
