hummingbird in flight (original pencil sketch)
A sketch of a hummingbird in flight, trying to capture the movement of the wings. This is an original drawing, not a print. I wanted to post something a little different, something "in progress," though I would consider it finished. Something that shows process. Something that shows my own movement, not just that of the hummingbird. Some of my buyers have asked about my sketches versus finished drawings. I don't always sketch this much first, but sometimes I do -- and here is one. Media: pencil on 140 lb Canson watercolor paper. Size: image area approximately 5 x 7 inches; total sheet size 9 x 12 inches. Completed 03.21.07.
