A chocolate-brown and black-cherry hummingbird in flight on a powdery kind-of-slate-blue background. Completed 02.04.07.
This is an original mixed-media painting, NOT a print.
Media: pen & ink, regular and metallic acrylic, colored pencil, and gloss varnish on 140 lb Canson watercolor paper.
Size: 7.125 x 9 inches, including black border.
The black border is 1.25 inches wide and inked by hand with a .5 mm pen -- thus it has subtle "texture" and patterns; prior to the painting the border was sprayed with several extra layers of protective matte fixative which gives it a slight frosted appearance. The blue acrylic plane with the bird is gloss varnished, very rich, and really stands out from the border, creating an interesting dimensional effect.
