Shore Birds

This composition features three hummingbirds energetically darting through space with playfully vibrant hints of red, pink, orange, and gold as they fulfill their busy mission.
Hummingbirds are known to symbolize eternity, continuity, and infinity as the fluttering wings of the hummingbird move in the pattern of an infinity symbol.
These extraordinary creatures constantly feed and visit up to 2,000 flowers per day with their long bills in search of sugary nectar. They are also migratory birds and can fly over 500 miles in a day.
This work portrays hummingbird featured characteristics of movement, the search for nourishment and dashing colors.

Three regal hummingbirds gently hover in a pageant of elegance.  Hummingbirds communicate with one another by making visual displays.  Females favor “shuttle flights” with rapid back and forth movements, while only males exhibit “dive displays” featuring U-shaped arc trajectories, diving, buzzing, whistling and popping.
The rich color pallet is drawn from royal Tudor heraldics featuring rondeau blue, scarlet red, and  alluvian gold, set against a warm sandstone background. 

A foursome of curiously pink parakeets playfully return your gaze in a sense of heightened anticipation and curiosity.  In mythology, parakeets are renowned as birds of the sun. Their bright colors together with the sunshine aspect are what gives them their magic.

Three snow white pelicans quietly begin to retire against and emerging golden twilight.  In Christianity, the pelican is a symbol of loving and self-sacrifice, and is featured on coats of arms for colleges at Oxford and Cambridge universities.

This peacock displays his royal train and azure crest with a flourish as he looks back with courtly bearing.
Charles Darwin once argued that such showy features combined with exotic courtship rituals and a daring sense of fearlessness proved his theory evolution by sexual selection.
This composition highlights a distinct yet playful color palette with cerulean blues and emerald  greens against a silky background mist.
 

Four regal parakeets merrily perch on a stick.  Color pallet includes lime green, chiffron blue, and moon yellow against a traditional light beige background.

A group of seemingly care-free and joyously colorful little birds grace this composition with shades of cadmium orange, lavender, carnation pink and emerald green.  Their inviting gaze back at the viewer seems to suggest a sense of connection.  In the eastern cultures of China and Japan, the color orange symbolizes love, while in western heraldics it indicates strength and endurance.

Geoffrey Chaucer took lovebirds as his inspiration in his 1382 poem "Parlement of Foules" to honor the union of King Richard II of England and Anne of Bohemia:
"For this was on seynt Volantyns dayWhan euery bryd comyth there to chese his make.
He was the first to link the martyr "St. Valentine" with love, and thus perhaps our modern annual ritual of Valentine's day. Lovebird behaviors such as snuggling, preening, feeding, and pining for each other bear witness to their deserved name. This four-part set of magical lovebirds heightens their sense of warmth in the heart of the viewer with their noble grace.

Six gracefully lit sunflower yellow birds harmoniously prepare for their busy work. The act of birds coming together in unison is technically known as allelomimesis. The Greek word 'allelo' describes mutual relation to one another, and 'memesis' (also Greek) denotes imitation or mimicry.
Most commonly, birds are exceptionally effective in teamwork as evidenced in “Flying V” formations and flocking patterns that promote safety in numbers and greater efficiency in foraging.

The gallant colony of ibis depicted in this composition stand out against the shadows of their bronzen environment.  These frequent inhabitants of wetlands, forests and plains with their characteristic crescent moon profiles were renowned in ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman cultures, most prominently in portrayals of the Egyptian deity Thoth:  the god of writing, magic and wisdom.
This work can function independently or perfectly compliment and accompany its partner "Ibis Four" in a two-set pair.
