Hummingbird 4
Hummingbird painted in sumi-e
In two brushstrokes, guided by two breaths.
Symbolism of the hummingbird
It represents perseverance, agility, and the ability to remain in the moment.
Present in the moment
Noticing your breath helps you feel more present.
And that’s what these little hummingbirds remind you of.
Sumi-e
is a traditional Japanese art form where the essence is revealed with as few brushstrokes as possible.
Every brush movement is visible and matters. Mistakes can’t be painted over.
Sumi-e is linked to Zen: the artwork arises in one fluid, mindful movement, supported by breathing.
It’s not about flawless precision, but about the energy of what you paint.
So beautiful ❤️
