About the Item
A wonderful composition of one of Reynolds’ most iconic subjects, hummingbirds. This piece depicts two multicolored hummingbirds mid-flight over a teal and silver reflecting pond. The deep green reeds add wonderful movement and contrast to the composition. Reynolds encases the piece with layers of silver leaf foil and then paints each hummingbird in with delicate and detailed brushstrokes. Inspired by nature and a genuine love of animals, Reynolds’ paintings encompass unique inspirations drawn from the world. The hummingbird symbolizes eternity, continuity and infinity. While viewing this piece in person, it is as if we are surrounded by elegance, effortlessly dazzled by the sparkle and enchanted with the charm of the hummingbirds, which remind us to live in the moment and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. The painting is signed and dated on verso.

Carolyn Reynolds
Carolyn Reynolds has been painting, drawing and sculpting since she was a child. World-renowned for her luminous landscapes on gold and silver leaf, Carolyn is claiming her corner of the art market as master and creator of a technique known only to her. Graduating from the University of California Irvine with a BFA in Fine Art and Art History, Carolyn believes her nature-themed pieces bring a healing quality, as well as a sense of well-being, harmony, and tranquility through her subject matter and use of color. Having been commissioned to do an Asian-themed art piece Carolyn fell in love with gold and silver leaf as a medium. She now works almost exclusively with the medium. The physical process begins with coating and sanding the canvas until it becomes a silky surface. A terra-cotta clay or red paint is painted underneath to give a warm feel to the gold. Once this is complete, the artist lays the gold or silver leaf, and coats it with layers of varnish. Using the finest quality sable brushes, Carolyn paints layer upon layer of paint and varnish developing the image until it culminates in a moment of light! Reynolds has been exhibited in California museums, featured in many one-man shows throughout the United States, and is in the permanent collections of corporations worldwide including The Ritz-Carlton, The Four Seasons, Comerica Bank, and the Marriott Corporation. Carolyn Reynolds resides and works in Southern California.
