The Colorful Magical Flight

When I first envisioned this piece, I wanted to channel the vibrant, frenetic energy of a hummingbird—the ultimate acrobat of the avian world! With its iridescent feathers, this tiny creature moves with a grace that barely seems possible.

Using bold and lively hues, I layered a deep blue background around brilliant reds and oranges, defining my image by painting the negative space around it, and representing the contrast between the lively world of the bird and the calmness of the night sky. It’s like a party in there! Each brushstroke feels like an invitation to dance with colors—because who says art can’t have a little groove? Birds of a Feather Speaking of parties, can you imagine how much fun it would be if we could host a gathering with all the colorful birds? Picture them flitting about, chattering away, and indulging in the finest nectar served in tiny crystal goblets. Clearly, we've got some creativity and imagination happening here, and I suspect many of you share this whimsical vision! My hummingbird doesn’t just represent a bird—it embodies freedom, speed, and the best moments in life when you’re feeling a bit “extra.” Join the Color Party! As you peel back the layers of this artwork, I hope you find something that resonates with your own experiences. Maybe it reminds you of a lazy summer afternoon or a moment of pure happiness. Whatever it is, I encourage you to embrace it! Keep an eye out for more of my playful pieces. If you'd like to share your thoughts or feelings about this vibrant avian, drop a comment below! Let’s keep the creative conversation flowing. Until next time, keep dancing with colors! As always, thanks for stopping by my blog. 😊

Jennifer Love

FRIDAY FEATURE: Featured Artist ~ Lester B. Lee

Here is a re-post of my  Friday Feature of artist  Lester B. Lee (first published 5/1/15). Enjoy! ________________________________________________ Lester Bird Lee...from the "Old School" I met Lester B. Lee on my first day of art class in 8th grade. Fresh out of graduate school and already an amazing artist, he took my art education to an entirely new level. "Mr. Lee" was (and still is) a natural teacher - motivating, great at constructive criticism, and he never made you feel that you weren't good enough or talented enough to learn the fundamentals of art - even though I'm sure our 14-year-old art skills were seriously lacking! He used a systematic approach to teach art basics to his students for the first half of the year. Then, after having introduced a variety of mediums and techniques, he allowed the students to write a contract with him to complete a certain number of assignments of their choice for the remainder of the year. Some of those ...

Repblished. Original blog post published on 5/22/15 __________________________________ Ian Ramsay ~  "I love to paint scruffy farms." I'm so excited for this featured artist post! My husband and I are collectors of Ian Ramsay's work and, to date, own at least eight of his paintings. He has an incredible talent for luminosity and seeing beauty in the every day things that most people might take for granted. Kudos to my husband for making the first purchase! But, I too love Ian's work and enjoy looking at the paintings hanging in our home daily as well.  "Capestrano, Abruzzo, Italy"   ©Ian Ramsay.

He was so open with teaching his technique for building layers of watercolor in order to achieve the beautiful...

Here is a re-post of my  Friday Feature of whimsical artist  Catherine Darling Hostetter (first published 4/24/15). Enjoy! ______________________________________ I am trying a new thing with my blog that I am going to call FRIDAY FEATURE. These posts might include Top 10 lists, products/services I have found useful, or other art-related topics (beyond writing about my own art).  To start out, I am writing a series of features about artists I admire. My goal will also be to provide some personal input from each artist - though that might not prove to be possible in every case. But, I will try my best. With that, I welcome you to my inaugural FRIDAY FEATURE post...let's begin! Welcome to the wonderful, witty, and whimsical world of Catherine Darling Hostetter! "Adoggio" ©Catherine Darling Hostetter Catherine, a full-time artist from Midvale, UT, also happens to be a friend of mine (though I don't get to see her as often as I would like). A...
