Rick Beerhorst
Hummingbird Girl (With Her Book) Woman Reading, Oil on Canvas, Artist Made Frame

2024

About the Item

Symbolism abounds in this remarkable painting by artist Rick Beerhorst. Here, the artist has given us not only the hummingbird covering the young girl's face while supposedly reading, but a multitude of objects at the table set out in front of her. The hummingbird, which can serve as a reminder to live in the moment and appreciate spiritual freedom, has been coupled with other objects such as a pear, a Madonna and Child portrait and an empty wine bottle. All these interesting artifacts come together to surround the girl with choices. Set upon a serene backdrop of rolling hills and a bright blue sky, the overall aesthetic is sublime. This piece is framed with an artist made frame measuring 26h x 18.25w x 1.25d inches.
