Description
This artwork is derived from a photograph taken Feb 6/15 in Cuenca, Ecuador, South America from my bedroom office window. I spend hours watching and waiting for these fascinating creatures called a Sparkling Violetear, no fatter than my thumb, to fly up and entertain me. I had been moving the feeder closer and closer until it was inside the room about 15” and they continued to come in the house for their meal.

Then this little guy, who I have now named Tom Thumb, graduated to eating from my hand. See - http://youtu.be/hQEkObLN9Ag
