Nectar Socks
Description: This is my acrylic painting of an Allen’s hummingbird that is drinking nectar from the hibiscus flowers. These small birds breed in the western United States. The name of this bird is from Charles Andrew Allen, who identified the bird in California in 1879. A hummingbird with vibrant green and brown plumage hovers amidst a pattern of large, vivid red hibiscus flowers. The composition captures the delicate balance and beauty of nature. This bird painting is included in the bird playing card game called “Chirp Up”.
Description: A hard working bumblebee, (Bombus hypnorum), delicately gathers pollen from the soft, pink cherry blossoms, in full bloom, creating a mesmerising sight of nature's beauty. The buzzing insect flits from flower to flower, seeking nectar and contributing to the vital process of pollination. The gentle, pastel-hued blossoms contrast against the azure spring sky, evoking a sense of tranquillity and renewal.
