Welcome to The Hummingbird Gallery 
|
|
The artworks featured in this gallery have been taken from the 'Hummingbird Lives' exhibition held at Free Range Gallery from January 14th to January 26th, 2005.
Each hummingbird image is an original oil painting and has been created by hand using a variety of very small brushes, they are not prints.
15% of the total purchase price of every hummingbird painting sold will be donated towards M.E. research
Postage on all artworks is FREE to any country.
Further purchasing information is available at the bottom of the page.

*Please note that the slightly 'off' angles and distortions in some images denotes only that they have protruding elements which meant that they could not be laid flat when scanned. The scans also don't really do any of the artworks justice - they look much better in real life - the scans just don't pick up the delicate textures of the individual feathers painted on the birds chests etc. for some reason.

Our quiet little group
15 x 23-29 x 15cm, Oil on board/perspex with screws and thread.
Artists note: [I think this piece is my favourite of the entire exhibition (equal favourite with the 3rd cube in this series anyway) I was so pleased with the way it turned out and I have no idea why it hasn't yet sold! A few people have told me that they see it as a depressing piece as the birds are 'caged' but this was not my intention, in fact the cubes are supposed to be expressing different moments and types of joy!
The cube form was intended to be merely a 3 dimensional version of the small paintings - not a cage! They are in fact the most positively themed pieces in the entire exhibition].
