Hummingbird Moment 16 by 12 inches, acrylic on canvas. This Rufous hummingbird wall art was my first time painting a bird’s wings as blurred movement instead of static detailed feathers that our eye never has time to see. Suitable for a tiny bird that flies over 3,000 km a year and is considered the most aggressive hummingbird.
A close up of this Rufous hummingbird acrylic artwork reveals the delicate beauty of the birds’ iridescent feathers glowing with vivid reds and oranges. The Rufous in this wildlife painting is quite territorial, taking on larger hummingbirds and even chipmunks to defend its space.
Coral honeysuckle flowers bloom in the foreground of this hummingbird landscape painting that was painted in front of a dark green forest. The dynamic composition emphasizes the bright flowers and foliage against its shadow background in a Chiaroscuro effect.
