Artist's Comments

I started this illustration because I wanted to paint a bunch of humming birds for no particular reason. I've done initial sketches a while ago and even started painting but had to scrap it as it wasn't going well at all. During that time the idea became more rounded and gained a personal meaning for me. Sometimes I fall into a state when I have too many little thoughts buzzing in my head. There's always a worrying undercurrent because I can't put my finger on the thought that bothers me. I have to separate the thoughts, get rid of the noise, find the worry and deal with it - then this whole buzz disappears and it's like a load falling of my shoulders.
I wanted to keep the illustration light and cartoony-like and I'm quite happy with how it turned out, I especially like the colours.

Hope you like it too :)

I definitely like it! The character looks like she's amused, nonplussed, and a tiny bit frustrated.

Thank you so much, Jasmin :glomp: My Mum told me about mantras you can repeat a few times that help clear your head, maybe you could look them up? ;)
