Dozens of jewel-toned hummingbirds dart and hover across layered foliage in this intricate naturalistic composition, their emerald, ruby, and sapphire plumages catching light against delicate flowering branches and shadowed depths. The densely packed scene moves the eye in multiple directions through precise linework and rich hand-coloring, creating a sense of animated wonder within a carefully observed natural world. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
