Hummingbird Fine Art Print

My hummingbird fine art print is very bright and colourful. If you are looking for an artwork to add a bit of colour in a realistic way this is your fella. One of my favourite birds to watch and still one of my all time favourite drawings. I first saw hummingbirds when we moved to Canada in 2005. Their arrival from Mexico is a very exciting time, and we feed them all summer long. Watching the males fly in U shapes in the air showing off their agility and speed it is a magnificent sight. They are incredibly curious little birds but also very cautious as they are so small.

This fine art print of the beautiful acrobat of an adorable little bird is a perfect addition to any room.
