This little hummingbird visits my feeder in the summer. I named him Henri after Henri Matisse. I’ve been wanting to paint him ever since I snapped this photo last summer. I loved the reflected red light from the feeder on his chest. It’s been so cold here in the northeastern U.S. that I figured it was time for some warm summer memories, and did this painting of Henri.

I don’t know why I haven’t made it over to view your blog in such a long, long time. I really enjoyed catching up on your beautiful paintings. It was fun to see different paintings of some of the locations from several times in the last months…like Boscobel. Keep these coming! Happy Spring!!!
