Hummingbird and Petunias

11 x 14", framed to 12.5x15.5"

Watercolor on Arches Paper

$250

My Hummingbird and Petunias painting was inspired by watching these tiny birds play-fight over my petunias. They hover and bomb-dive each other in competition. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird flys nonstop across the Golf of Mexico, migrating more than 500 miles in about 20 hours.

Artist's Statement:

Welcome to my Bio!  My name is Dale Berry, and I’m a retired female, living in Mechanicsville, VA.  I started my artistic journey once I retired.  By taking watercolor classes at Crossroads Art Center, I was gifted with the knowledge I still use today.  My art education was further enhanced by joining James River Art League with monthly meetings, field trips, demos, and camaraderie.  I was the Publicity Chair for JRAL for two terms.  I also joined Tuckahoe Art League and discovered a wonderful watercolorist!  He has such an eye for design, color, and placement. During 2020 I joined the RVA Urban Sketchers and found my love for outdoor meetings.  More recently I joined the Virginia Plein Air Painters.  While I’ve taken several oil and pastel classes, I always return to my beloved watercolors.  I hope you enjoy my artwork!
