The original oil painting is 24x36 on deep edge canvas. 'Stance' is part of my new 'Helos' series. The series features very dynamic, large-format bird portraits. Blending detailed realism and bold brush strokes these 3 foot paintings strife to make a strong statement.
My resident hummingbirds had been my subject for a while, and reached quite some popularity in the shape of little 4x4 canvas cubes. But after the inspiring 3 month stay at the Fine Art Expo, surrounded by and working alongside 100 diverse artists daily, it was time to translate the characters of the tiny but fierce friends to a new level.
To yield a result that would not lose its fresh brush strokes, but at the same time satisfy my wish for detail, I took some time experimenting. Back in my own studio in covid lockdown, and with a new generation of hummingbirds buzzing through my garden, I had the perfect opportunity for that. Big bold all prima brush work went in hand with layering and alternated with small details.
The result seems to combine different aspects of my own character and temper, and the progress is a highly satisfying dance at the easel with a very vibrant palette.
