This composition features three hummingbirds energetically darting through space with playfully vibrant hints of blue, pink, green, and gold as they fulfill their busy mission.
Hummingbirds are known to symbolize eternity, continuity, and infinity as the fluttering wings of the hummingbird move in the pattern of an infinity symbol.
These extraordinary creatures constantly feed and visit up to 2,000 flowers per day with their long bills in search of sugary nectar. They are also migratory birds and can fly over 500 miles in a day. 
This work portrays hummingbird featured characteristics of movement, the search for nourishment and dashing colors.

Six gracefully lit sunflower yellow birds harmoniously prepare for their busy work. The act of birds coming together in unison is technically known as allelomimesis. The Greek word 'allelo' describes mutual relation to one another, and 'memesis' (also Greek) denotes imitation or mimicry.
Most commonly, birds are exceptionally effective in teamwork as evidenced in “Flying V” formations and flocking patterns that promote safety in numbers and greater efficiency in foraging.

According to the Urban Dictionary, a "Lone Ranger" is one who confidently "stands alone," is "constantly underestimated" but always "comes out on top" because of "superior intellect and skill."  The violet masked beauty in this composition with rococo cyan plumage from crown to toe against a salmon pink screen evokes mystery into her possible motivations.
 

Dressed to impress in his evening smoking jacket and with burgeoning yet mischievous grin, Louis is the bon vivant "life of the party" in his 1930's Jazz Age style.  Duke Ellington once said, "There are two rules in life--  rule one:  never quit; rule two - never forget rule one."  Louis Armstrong said "And I think to myself... what a wonderful world."  If you get these jazz greats, you'll get Louis!

Geoffrey Chaucer took lovebirds as his inspiration in his 1382 poem "Parlement of Foules" to honor the union of King Richard II of England and Anne of Bohemia:
"For this was on seynt Volantyns dayWhan euery bryd comyth there to chese his make.
He was the first to link the martyr "St. Valentine" with love, and thus perhaps our modern annual ritual of Valentine's day. Lovebird behaviors such as snuggling, preening, feeding, and pining for each other bear witness to their deserved name. This four-part set of magical lovebirds heightens their sense of warmth in the heart of the viewer with their noble grace.

The paired abstract set Constance and Thalia draw their inspiration in the fresh renaissance now enveloping the New Orleans Lower Garden District and the enduring streets which share their names. This stately neighborhood was originally founded in 1830's by Americans migrating to the former French colonial capital in the promise of the Louisiana Purchase. These compositions celebrate the embrace of contemporary generations to this once abandoned corner of the fabled city. Earthen tones with haunting shadows are slowly overcome by the emerging brightness of lively bluish and golden hues.

Cheerful sunlit skies gently bask a delicate verdant landscape with accents and shadows while pinkish ethereal clouds slowly inch across the distant horizon.
 

This peaceful marshland landscape features grassy reeds and rushes and distant swampy trees. Marshes provide a habitat for many exotic species of plants and animals that are found nowhere else.
In ancient mythology a will-o'-the-wisp is an atmospheric ghost light seen by travellers at night, especially over bogs, swamps, or marshes. It resembles a flickering lamp and is said to recede if approached, drawing travellers from the safe paths.

The fair white-ribboned Naples coastline emerges in the distance as quiet seas transform from their blue-gray and turquoise depths to the gentle surf of a yearning beach under the azure summer sky.
