\"Rufous-Looking-Spiders\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just a new painting that could be\u00a0happening right outside my studio window, but isn’t.<\/strong>\u00a0We have several Anna’s Hummers wintering over nowadays – enjoying our warmer winters. I often see them flying among the branches, carefully checking each bit of moss, each crook and corner, then a quick snatch-up of a hapless\u00a0spider for lunch. The other hummingbird species commonly here is the Rufous, a reddish-brown job like this painting, but\u00a0for some reason\u00a0these tiny birds are NOT over-wintering. Instead, just like forever before, they fly\u00a0off\u00a0to Mexico or Costa Rica (where we all want to go this time of year). It’s obviously cheaper and safer for these little guys to stay home and dine on spiders and mites, but so far they don’t do it (so I painted one as if it\u00a0did). Makes us think it’s spring already.<\/p>\n

\"Rufous-Looking-Spiders-framed\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This ORIGINAL painting is acrylic on board, 6″ x 9″ and $145 framed. Outside edge of the frame is about 12″ x 15″.
\nThis custom frame has a triple liner and glass. Shipping adds just a bit more depending on your zone. This is the original painting, NOT a print.
\nEmail <\/a>us for details.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading this week. You might send this to someone who you think would\u00a0appreciate what I’m painting and tell them to sign up for my \u00a0weekly posts. I’m trying to expand my list. An email <\/a>with their email\u00a0to me\u00a0will work too.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks for reading this week, and enjoy the last of 2014.<\/p>\n
