Today is the half way point in our 30 day challenge and I feel like I
cheated a little bit painting grapes again, but it got stuck in my
head and had to try it with some purple.
I think it turned out better than the first one! I loved
playing with the colors and flow of the background. Forcing myself to
stretch out of my box with more color and a looser feel. I used a bit of
white gouache on this painting too.

It was so amazing to see all the hummingbirds at Jo-Mary Lake during this summer and last. A number of seasonal folks had their little sugar/water containers up and running! Since we only came up on the weekends, and sadly not many this year, I didn't hang a feeder, but our cousins site was very enjoyable! I counted over 9 birds at their feeder one time!
"Hummingbird"
Hummingbirds are amazing little creatures. They are one of my favorite birds to watch. A few years back I started putting up window boxes with red impatient flowers in them....and was super excited to find these lovely creatures stopping by for a little morning breakfast! I would jump up to try to grab my camera every time I heard the little humming sound at my open window, but had the hardest time capturing the little buggers! They don't stick around for long.
Progress Steps
I started loose and then messed it all up in the second step, ugh... so I ended up doing a lot of details.
Hope you enjoy and would love to have you follow me either on my blog, facebook, twitter...the list goes on. If you have time, please check out my many LINKS below!
