This is a little oil on masonite, but what is special about it is that It was commissioned by the Danbury Mint. I am told it will be produced along with 3 others as a series of plates, a four seasons set. As for the painting It happened that they wanted it in time for me to use our big trumpet vine as reference. I do enjoy feeding the hummers, but after a few years they grow to such a number that you question the sanity of it.
