I painted a paintng of a Ruby Throated Humminbird on a Bird of Paradise plant previously to this one. I was sitting under an enclosed area watching the soft rainfall falling down on our plants. I was intrigued by how the raindrops collected on the Bird of Paradise flower. Some stayed where they fell and others slowly tricked down the angles created by its bloom. So i added a Ruby Throated Hummingbird to the mix with one drop landing on its beak. Hummingbirds do sit out when its raining to clean their feathers off
