Description
Oil painting of hummingbirds and flowers.
At first glance these look like ruby-throated hummingbirds but they are actually broad-tailed hummingbirds. The two look very similar but are most easily distinguished by their tail shapes, the ruby-throat having a more forked, or inverted V shaped tail. The ruby-throated hummingbird also has a more reddish-orange throat while the broad-tailed hummingbird has more rosy red throat. This color difference is actually why I decided to use the broad-tail in my painting instead of the better known ruby. This rose color more closely matches the color of the popular pink and white fuchsia flowers, and the common pinkish-red petunias. This rose colored red is also a perfect complement to the phthalo green background.
NOTE: For best color intensity, please choose semi-matte or luster as your paper option when ordering.
