Another Anna’s hummingbird because …they are just so sweet. I had fun playing with colours as well as form.
Here is Tom’s short poem for this tiny painting.
So kind of humans to erect
a fence like this through open fields
where the flower’s first effect
is to make me many meals!

Another tiny creature for a tiny painting. Hummingbirds are so sweet and we do see them around quite a lot where we live. As we plant more flowering plants in the garden I hope they will spend more time in view instead of speeding off.
Tom wrote this: (I love the hummingbird’s perspective he imagines!)
Precisely feathered, warmed by sun
I sit upon a summer twig
while in the trees the bumblers hum
wishing they were like me: big!
