Each year we look forward to the return of our hummingbirds sometime this month, hopefully within the next week or two. I started putting out nectar already in case we have any early arrivals, but so far we’ve not seen any.

Even though some artists draw a bird on the 8th of each month, today is the official yearly Draw A Bird Day! Do you feed your yard birds? Have you had any hummers yet?
PS: I was really happy with the loose effect achieved in this painting. Why is it that sometimes it is a struggle but other times it rolls right off the brush? I’ll take the win when I can π
So lovely and brilliant color!
Thank you for sharing your lovely hummingbird painting. I love the vibrant colors. Spring is so welcome this year!
Your hummingbird is beautiful, Carol! π I love how you painted it. My husband got me a hummingbird calendar for Christmas as he knows how much I love them. I look forward to their arrival also! π
Beautiful painting, Carol! Love the colors! ππ
Wonderful colours, Carol! Your hummingbird and flower are such a beautiful pair. π
I cannot wait until my hummingbirds return! This picture is nice!
hooray for welcoming back the hummers!
Thanks, Sharon! I was trying to keep it looser than I usually do.
Thanks, Fay! Just this weekend the grass started looking greener and the trees are budding up. Hooray!
Thanks, Jill! Hope youβll see one soon! I was trying to stay loose and this time pulled it off pretty well π
Thanks so much, Patty Anne! π¨
Thanks for your kind words, Myriam βΊοΈ
Thanks, Judy! Hope they arrive to our town soon!
Yes, Jodi! My feeders are waiting for some thirsty hummers!
a beautiful painting, how lucky you are to have humming birds in your garden x
Thanks! I feel very lucky – they are such interesting creatures!
I love the greens!
I don’t get hummingbirds, but I’m still waiting for the robins! The sparrows are always plentiful, and blue jays and cardinals. But no robins yet…(K)
Our robins stay through the winter. Hope yours show up very soon!
Very nice!
so cute and lovely colours…
Thanks!! Iβm sad that the hummingbirds will be migrating away from us soon, but I surely do enjoy them while they are here!
well, nothing stays forever but u have captured them already in your beautiful painting now u will cherish them
