Hummingbird and Cactus

Watercolor on Arches Paper

My Hummingbird and Cactus painting was inspired by a photo taken by Lisa Meyers Swanson, my favorite photographer. Her photography inspired me to do a series of hummingbird paintings. They are the only birds that can hover, fly up, down, sideways, and BACKWARDS!

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!
