Okay, I realized when I did this painting that it could seem a bit cliche; after all, there are so many hummingbird paintings out there. But I couldn’t resist painting this little ruby-throated that I saw drinking from the last of the summer flowers a few weeks ago, so I make no apologies.
I think hummingbirds are beautiful, and they love butterfly bush flowers. With the fall, they have now flown south where the flowers they enjoy are available, and I will miss them.
