ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The artist chose "Summer Social" as the title for this piece as a way to acknowledge the acute behavioral changes hummingbirds display during mating season. Typically hummingbirds are solitary creatures. Often territorial and rarely seen in flocks. During mating season these introverted birds become aggressive in order to win the favor of a desirable mate. Males will attempt to gain the attention of a female by demonstrating a flamboyant courtship dive accompanied with various loops and zig zags. The artist selected "fruity" colors as a backdrop to represent the bright floral hues commonly associated with these daredevil aerialists. This painting is part of a larger series in which birds that are local to the artist's home state of Missouri are used to explore concepts around time and space. Bright, playful colors are applied with expressive movement and bold intersecting lines are used to help the viewer capture a sense of temporary joy that so often flutters in and out of life experiences shared by all.
