oil on canvas

I kept working on these after the last two I uploaded here. I'm trying to refine my technichal process to add more of a glow using glazing and some contrasting highlights. Fun!

Thanks for looking!

I like these latest hummingbirds even more than the last ones Matt.

The glazing is really making a difference and gives them that magical glow that's not present on the previous ones. Not that I don't love the previous ones .. just to be clear haha

I've been doing a lot of abstract painting lately. Extremely abstract. No brush, no paint, no canvas. I just think about it.

It's hard to say. I usually work on them in batches of two to four at a time and the way I do them I paint... let it dry.....paint ...let it dry...for a few days. So, I would say actual painting time is probably 90 minutes to 2 hours. Although the more I do I find the longer their taking. And I'm enjoying them less. It feels like copying something now more than it feels like making someting new. But people keep buying them so I keep painting them.
