Hummingbird and Trumpet Vine Flowers - watercolor


Walking this morning with my camera in hand, I passed by some bright trumpet vine flowers and stopped to take a couple of photos.

While snapping one shot, a hummingbird flew in to take a sip from the flowers. Love when that happens! It made a perfect reference photo. The picture of the hummingbird was not totally clear, but just enough for inspiration for this painting.

Oh, don't you just love trumpet vines and the hummingbirds they attract?

I also like the contrast between the warm flowers and the dark, cool background. :-)

Thanks! Yes trumpet vines are delightful especially for hummingbirds. Just had to paint this one.
