In "Looking Up", Carolyn Reynolds transforms a canopy of gnarled, twisting branches into a dramatic stage for two hummingbirds, poised midair and facing one another as if preparing to rise. The silver-leaf background glows softly, turning the open sky into a luminous threshold, guiding the viewer’s gaze upward. This contrast between the dark, reaching branches and the ascending birds suggests perseverance and shared movement toward light.

No two Reynolds paintings are ever the same — each one a singular, hand-leafed reflection of her vision. Collectors are often captivated by how her work feels deeply personal, as though the hummingbirds mirror their own moments of connection, renewal, and hope. "Looking Up" is more than a painting; it is a reminder to lift one’s eyes and spirit, offering a radiant focal point that continues to reveal new meaning over time.
