A wonderful composition of one of Reynolds most iconic subjects, hummingbirds. This piece depicts two multicolored hummingbirds mid flight on a metallic silver surface surrounded by a halo color field in midnight gray. Reynolds encases the piece with layers of silver leaf foil and then paints each hummingbird in with delicate and detailed brushstrokes. Inspired by nature and a genuine love of animals, Reynolds paintings encompass unique inspirations drawn from the world. The color silver symbolizes sophistication and elegance while the hummingbirds symbolize eternity, continuity and infinity. When viewing this piece in person, it is as if we are surrounded by elegance, effortlessly dazzled by the sparkle and enchanted with the charm of the hummingbirds, which remind us to live in the moment and enjoy lifes simple pleasures. The painting is signed and dated on verso.
