Hummingbirds


Here is the 2nd image.

The background trumpet flowers proved to me that silk painting is indeed slightly forgiving. Washing out a mistake with water, or unscented white soap and water, works, and then whatever's left can be covered up by bolder colors. I like how everything turned out, just that the wood stretcher had warped, because that's what wood does, and unfortunately it warped a bit much. The stretchers are only 3/4 inches thick, which makes them more prone to warping, even though they were used within a day or two to stretch silk.
