Product Details
“A Moment Composed” is an original hummingbird oil painting on 4×4 in canvas that is 1.5 inches wide. I’ve painted the sides and the painting comes ready to hang. Additional shipping price includes shipping within the U.S.A. I ship every painting out of Covington, LA. For local pickup rather than shipping type code “localpickup” at checkout.
The title of this painting comes from a poem by Mark Roper:
Hummingbird by Mark Roper
Not just how
it hung so still
in the quick of its wings,
all gem and temper
anchored in air;
not just the way
it moved from shelf
to shelf of air,
up down, here there,
without moving;
not just how it flicked
its tongue’s thread
through each butter-yellow
foxglove flower
for its fix of sugar;
not just the vest’s
electric emerald,
the scarf’s scarlet,
not just the fury
of its berry-sized heart,
but also how the bird
would soon be found
in a tree nearby,
quiet as moss at the end
of a bare branch,
wings closed around
its sweetening being,
and then how light
might touch its throat
and make it glow,
as if it were the tip
of a cigarette
smouldering
on the lip of a world,
whose face,
in the lake’s hush
and the stir of leaves,
might appear
for a moment
composed.
