Hummingbird Night Flight is a unique scene depicting a humminbird in a night flight. Mary Marquiss created this painting in a series of stages. She initially painted the scene using acrylic paint on plexiglass that was then layered with thick pads and literally rolled over by a large steam roller in a parking lot – rather than using an indoor printing press due to the size of the image. The next step was layering the detail with colored pencil and acrylic paint. 

The final result is a painting with a unique patina that portrays the incredible energy of a hummingbird in flight. This is a classic cruciform design with a strong horizontal and vertical rhythm.
