An abstract painting very loosely inspired by a ruby-throated hummingbird. The primary pigments are various tones of cadmium reds with some areas of a light viridian poking through from the background.

Another one of my #bird inspired paintings, "Corundum" (12"x12" Oil on Panel). I restarted it multiple times before settling on this treatment. #bsky.art #art #abstraction #painting #minnesotaart #rock9artstudio #SaintPaulMNArt #abstractpainting
