Throwin' Shade Painting

Notoriously territorial, hummingbirds aggressively defend their realm. Sometimes it's hard to take them seriously because they're so tiny and cute. We should, however, take the threat of global warming on our wildlife very seriously and do everything we can to protect our birds' habitats. By 2080, some hummingbird species may lose 100 percent of their winter range in the U.S. In this composition, the hummingbird is the main focus but a very structured, man-made pattern peeks through in the background, meant to symbolize how we can coexist with nature and protect our animal friends before it's too late. This original oil and mixed media painting is 36 x 24" on a 1.5" deep gallery-wrapped canvas. Spackle, glitter and marker have also been used. It's framed with a rustic, gray wood frame. It's signed on the front with my signature, along with the date, title and type of varnish listed on the back.
