“Hummingbird No. 10” is rendered in warm copper tones, soft whites, and iridescent reds and greens, capturing the hummingbird in a moment of quiet stillness. The perched posture and rounded form create a sense of calm presence, while the delicate detailing of the feathers introduces texture and gentle movement. Layered color and fine linework across the body and throat allow the subject to feel both grounded and expressive, inviting a close, contemplative connection.

Copper leaf on watercolor paper treated with patina, allowing oxidation and natural reactions to establish the surface. Layers of oil paint applied with a loose, responsive hand, preserving areas of exposed copper, patina, and visible mark-making as active elements within the work.
