A Moment of Awe – Original Hummingbird Oil Painting by Cassie Holmes

A tender hummingbird artwork, filled with gentle colour, softness, and a quiet feeling of wonder.

Inspired by seeing hummingbirds for the first time in a South American garden, A Moment of Awe captures that heart-stopping pause when time seems to slow and beauty takes your breath away. With her wings outstretched and tiny body lifted in mid-air, this little hummingbird feels free, weightless, and full of life.

Painted in oils with soft, layered brushstrokes, her feathers shimmer in shades of violet and magenta against a calm turquoise background. The colours and movement work together to create a sense of serenity, joy, and pure enchantment, like standing in the garden again, watching her hover in the sunlight.

This piece is a gentle celebration of those fleeting moments that stay with us forever, the small, quiet experiences that leave the deepest impressions on our hearts.
