Realistic Hummingbird Painting 

I love this so much! Hummingbirds were the reason I started gardening 31 years ago. I saw a hummingbird then had to learn how to attract more to my yard. Thanks for sharing your process with us. The background is stunning and the color strobes on the bird are very realistic! ❤

Wow! What an epic photo he took! And you did a perfect job painting it.

How wonderful to capture the beauty of gum drop while she was still instead of in flight.! Excellent.❤

Only you would have a pet hummingbird!😀❤️ awesome painting… Your grandmother would be so pleased!

All your paintings are wonderful. ❤

Wether it's realism or abstract or both, you accomplish beautuful paintings. Thank you for sharing so many tips and advice. Especially for those of us that can't be a patrion.

Beautiful 👌🏻🎨💜

I love this painting. It’s beautiful and the colours are wonderful

Wow! How gorgeous! The reference photo was epic, and you more than did it, and Gumdrop, justice. I would have to say that this is, if not my favorite painting you have done, one of my very top picks! Thx, as always, for sharing your talent and creativity with us!💜

The painting is SO beautiful ……… watching you create Gumdrop on the canvas was quite mesmerising, even in fast mode. 😊 I love watching the way you paint …….. everything❤❤

I think your painting came out beautifully ! I also want to thank you , again, for sharing so much of your process.. I work mostly with gouache and watercolors, and I have started playing with the Golden Open acrylics, as I don't want to venture into oils , and the open acrylics seemed like nice way to get the " feel", more or less, of oils, without going down the oil rabbit hole..so far , I've really enjoyed them .. I love how you captured that glow , and I hope that Gumdrop has a good journey down south .. really lovely and thank you for all the tips and insights through your process.. gorgeous end result.. Norakag, here 👍👍
