Southern California Native Hummingbird Species Study

Small, but startlingly beautiful, the Costa's hummingbird is one of Southern California's most beloved desert residents. The deep iridescent purple that catches the light, flashing violet one moment, nearly black the next. At home in the dry heat of chaparral and desert bloom, this quiet little bird is proof that the most extraordinary beauty often lives in the most unexpected places.

Painted with Winsor & Newton and Gansai Tambi watercolor paints on cold pressed lightly textured watercolor paper. Original 5x5 inch watercolor matted and framed in a 8x8 inch white frame with glass, ready to hang.
