Hummiphants
Medium: colored pencils
Feb 14
Nature is a funny thing. It takes the clumsiest of creatures... and gives it grace and beauty when in it's natural element.
Today we're at the botanical gardens, looking at the lovely plants and creatures that were imported here from New Zealand. The most carnivorous of plants mingling with your average and harmless garden flowers. And flitting here and there were the rare hummiphants. Creatures so tiny, you could hold them on the tip of your finger... if they'd stay still long enough. Their wings beat so rapidly, it's enough to make your head spin watching them blur into motion. And those sweet little trunks that dive into the blossoms for nectar... they're so adorable when they are questing for food. They are an endangered species, so only the gardens and a few select zoos have these little fluttering gems... I do pray that we will be able to help them recover, and flourish in the world again.
Open edition prints are available in a variety of sizes, email the artist for sizes and prices.
