One Hummingbird & One Hawk

I'm still dragging somewhat...duh! Sure hope to get back to firing on all cylinders before too long. Anyway, I've had Dean Haven's journal for The Flying Moleskins for a while. Got a little surge of energy and grabbed my brushes and paints. Dean left the door open for choice of subject, and, wouldn't you know it a hawk flew in....pursued by an angry hummingbird. The hawk didn't stand a chance. I have presented my paintings of these two before the carnage began.



I've got Adebanji Alade's journal now....poverty and homelessness. Now that should be a challenge. Hm-m-m-m.
See ya down the road.....James

  4. James,
    Your work is fabulous. Did you notice that the 2 birds you mention painting ostrich and penguin are flightless birds but these are out of the ordinary flying birds. I see you as those... an incredible painter/man that has a lot to offer all.
    I see it also in the painting Camille did for you of the flying / jumping dog that you are getting ready to leap into a wonderful season.
    I'm so happy you pushed your self to make these. The shadow in the hawks eye and his beak are stunning.

  5. WOW! Thanks, James! I am stunned by the excellent job on these two. I am greatly honored.
    I do hope the hummingbird didn't hurt the hawk too much.

  6. Poor little hawk - hope he survived! Great to see you grabbing your brushes again James, but I can understand that layoff of the computer stuff - I need to get back as well!
