Broad-billed Hummingbird Painting

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks:

Had a great visit to Madera Kubo B&B yesterday, saw many birds & also a Ring-tailed Cat. Liked this Broad-billed so the Devil took over my imagination and the Mad Painter played around with CS4 until this painting appeared.

Excellent composition, image and capture Uncle Gus,
I like the applied painterly effect combined with the black background making your little guy pop out of the canvas...well done...looking forward to more...:cool:
