Done for Lee's VSN challenge and yes, if you include the drying times this took all day. ( it has three layers of watercolor paint on it) the humming bird has iridescent paints so, it does shimmer in real life. It was going to be more clean on the clean and simple side but, the flowers just did not want to flow so I ended up tossing a little paint and a lot of water on the background. which of course extended the drying time ha ha. Thanks for this challenge Lee & tfl.

Love the background and the bird. I’ve been putting off the hummingbird challenge - I’m sure it will look like a We studied birds in school today poster instead of art like yours.

OMG, I have sipped my tea and enjoyed your artwork thru this first page. THANKS for the sharing and inspiring. you are an amazing artist and watercolorist. I have ambition but total insecurity and maybe next summer (in the hot AZ) I will drag out my supplies and just stay at it until I am confident. THIS CARD IS SUPER BEAUTIFUL ... as your entire gallery is inspiring. It just speaks to me. though you thought it wasn't your original vision, it is a Vision of Beauty. thanks for the kind comment on my simple pieced/sewn card. you are just too kind! appreciate it, Teresa
