Preview – A quaint little pair of blue-tailed emerald hummingbird drawings are now available for purchase. Both studies are one-of-a-kind original graphite pencil drawings on 115 gsm textured drawing paper, completed in 2020 following patient observation during lockdown on Curaçao, and tucked away until recently. A special thank you to my amusing little garden friends who happened to be just as curious as I was.
Drawings – Each hummingbird drawing measures around 15 to 16 cm, and is centrally positioned on an off-white background of 28 x 21 cm. Both artworks are signed, dated, and issued with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
Birds – The blue-tailed emerald (Chlorostilbon mellisugus caribaeus), or “Blenchi” in Papiamentu, is a small hummingbird which, in reality, measures around 7.5 cm in length and weighs as little 2.6 g.
