A few weeks ago I was commisioned to do a painting of an orchid with a hummingbird in a landscape. I have drawn and painted orchids many times before so had a drawing I could use. I have some of my own photos of hummingbirds but the client wanted a particular one. It's the Annabelle hummingbird and has a pinkish collar. I was able to find some copyright photos from Pixabay for reference for this bird and created a composition from the different elements.
I framed it in a light wood frame and antique white mount.
It had to be ready before Christmas so I guess it was a Christmas present.
It was arranged through the Corner Gallery and I heard that the client is pleased with it. Its always a relief to hear that when its a commission.
