My Little Hummer. Jo Ridge Kelley, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cI created this body of work while observing and painting outdoors in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, along the Blue Ridge Parkway and in the backyard flower gardens with hummingbirds swirling around me,\u201d Kelley says. \u201cLight and color in the natural landscape inspire me every day and influence my daily paintings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelley worked in watercolor for almost 20 years before shifting to oils about 16 years ago. \u201cI adore the lushness and gloss of pure oil pigments,\u201d she says. \u201cI love the thick and thin passages of brushstrokes and palette knife work. Studying past and living masters of traditional oil painting inspires me to pursue my love of capturing the environment around me.\u201d<\/p>\n
