Nothing like a gorgeous hummingbird painting to wake up to, and these are gorgeous.
I have been writing a blog for five years with a different server, but after many technical difficulties, I have decided to move here.
As a working artist for forty years, I am known for my love of colour and spontaneous painting. http://www.janetweightreed.co.uk
Along with writing about my life as an artist, I will also post images that I am currently working on and occasionally watercolour tutorials.
Hummingbirds have always symbolised for me the ‘unseen magic’ in our world, and so for my first post I am offering several hummers.
I saw my first hummingbird in the mountains of North Carolina in 1968, and ever since have been in awe for these flying jewels.
I paint other subject and have a particular love for portrait painting, however, it seems fitting that I should start this new blog with hummingbirds.

Absolutely beautiful! I LOVE them… wonderful use of colour! Waking up to one of those riotous paintings every morning would put me in a great mood!
It’s easy to imagine Nature having a really wild idea and painting these tiny birds every colour of the rainbow. Just for fun!
