Winged Emerald--St. Patrick's Day

Close ups

Oil on 7x5 hardboard.

This is my second submission to James Parker's Windows To The Words Challenge. This challenge is for March, so there's still some time to join in. Come on in...the water's fine! Check Mr. Parker's blogs out! You'll have a good time at his blogs!

Happy St Patrick's Day everyone! If this holiday had to adopt an official bird, I would nominate the hummingbird in all his fluorescent green glory!
I may have gone a little crazy with the color, but this painting said, "Go ahead!" Enjoy!

  4. I agree--hummingbird would be a good symbol for St. Patrick's day--let's get that into place, I don't like any of the other symbols like goofy leprechauns and gold coins or beer. lol. Lovely painting!

  5. I love how you've "frozen" the hummingbird and made everything around it blurry, instead of the alternative - which is how we see it with the naked eye. Great composition and wonderful color...

  6. I hope you enjoyed the use of color in this piece, Dean... because I sure do! This is out standing. It is also out humming on WTTW Art... posted and linked and sipping a cup of green Irish beer with his feathered friends. Thanks so much, Dean, for sharing your talent and your kind words.

  7. Somehow you've managed to capture that beautiful and magical effervescence in this little beauty's feathers! And the wings somehow show the movement too...Well done, indeed Dean!
